We’re excited to announce that HFS Hastings will be relocating to the Priory Meadow shopping centre temporarily.

The pop-up store will give us a chance to reach more people and reuse even more furniture.

It will also enable us to redecorate our full-time premises in Dorset Place. We haven’t seen most of the walls or floor since we moved in after our re-build in 2007, so we can’t wait to give it a lick of paint!

The pop-up is on a rent-free “meanwhile” basis, while the landlord looks for a new paying tenant. We are moving on Tues and Weds (21-22 May). Hastings store will be closed on Weds 22nd.

The new store will open at lunchtime on Thurs 23rd May

Open Tues-Sat 9.30-4.30

We will really miss Robyn, who is leaving us to join her family’s business and train to be a Plumber. Watch the interview with her about her role at HFS (click play above).

We are looking for someone with the same positive attitude, love of active work, friendly but professional communication skills and enjoyment of coaching and helping others.

Could it be you?

HFS patron Mark Thomas launched our Reuse Manifesto poster at our Mark Thomas & Friends fund-raising comedy night on Friday 25th May.

We worked with local artist and HFS team-member Pea Crabtree to design the poster and it was printed by Martel Colour Print in St Leonards.

Supporters were able to buy their own copy of the manifesto poster (A3) to take home from the comedy event, and you can pick up a copy from your local HFS store for the launch price of £5. We also have postcards with the same design for £1. All proceeds help the charity.
