Why Does The Keep Need Friends?
The Keep needs Friends now – more than ever before. FoTKA, and its predecessor FESRO (Friends of East Sussex Record Office) have, for decades, performed an enormously valuable and valued role in raising funds for The Keep. The Keep also benefits from the work of volunteers, many of whom are Friends.
