As Reigate Summer Festival is free (with the odd exception), and knowing how generous the people of Reigate can be, an opportunity was spotted to use the weekend to help raise funds for three brilliant local charities. In 2024 donations were split equally, three-ways to keep it nice and simple.
Loveworks works in partnership with Reigate and Merstham communities providing emergency food provision (food banks), preventing the recurrence of food poverty and growing food in their community allotments.

The food bank at Reigate Community Centre (by Reception), will be accepting donations over the festival weekend (as it does throughout the year). Please check the Loveworks website for a list of urgently needed items.
Renewed Hope is a local charity based in Redhill that provides practical solutions and emotional support to the homeless, vulnerable and isolated of East Surrey. They seek to give new hope to everyone who makes contact and the opportunity to build a new life.

Owned and run by Reigate Methodist Church in the heart of the town, Reigate Community Centre is staffed by incredibly kind and friendly volunteers and provides a safe, welcoming cafe and flexible spaces for hire by groups, classes and businesses.
Since opening in 2011 the impressive building has been used by thousands of visitors and dozens of groups and organisations. The support shown by the volunteer team at Reigate Methodist Church and Reigate Community Centre to the Reigate Summer Festival organisers, has been overwhelming.
