From football tickets to delicious meals in local restaurants, businesses in Stokey have pulled out all the stops with their online auction.
The See you in Stokey Fabulous FUNDraiser is raising money for community events, which bring people together and increase footfall.
Among the prizes donated are a massage at Shine, Arsenal tickets, theatre tickets at Tower, a karaoke party at Mascara Bar, a barbecue course at Meat N16 and an engraved Japanese knife from Kitchen Provisions.
Other prizes up for grabs include meals at The Good Egg, Aun, The Parlour and Acoustic and goodies from Sophie MacBain, The Ark, Beaucatcher, Prep, Gallo Nero, Metal Crumble and more. The Local Buyers Club has donated £100 to spend at any Stoke Newington business in the club.
The auction coincides with a fundraising gala at The Old Church on Friday June 21st, where comedian Rob Deering and legendary poet Tim Wells will be performing. There’ll also be soul and groove music, food from The Good Egg, Yum Yum, La Rosetta and Schnitzel Forever.
Heidi Early, Chair of Stoke Newington Business Association, is helping to organize the event. She said: “Local businesses have been so generous in donating prizes, food and more for this fabulous fundraiser. We’re on a mission to make sure Stokey’s wonderful community events keep happening - funds raised will enable us to run arts-based events in the area.
“We’d urge the community to join us for what promises to be a really magical community night with amazing entertainment and delicious food and to bid for some wonderful prizes.”

Tim Wells was described by The Guardian as “a poet of wit and brilliance” and is a regular on the London poetry scene.
