Great response to Turkey Earthquake Appeal

Kayleigh & Sinan at Milford Cards & Gifts in the high street have had a excellent response to the recent appeal for donations from a list of practical items following the Earthquake Disaster in Turkey.

In fact, the donations have been so high that they are having to pause receiving donations of items for the time being. The charity they are working with (Luton Turkish Community Association) are inundated with generously donated items nationwide and need time to organise getting them sent on to Turkey.

Kayleigh & Sinan want to thank everyone for their love and well wishes, and said: "Milford on Sea maybe a small village but it has a huge heart. We have also managed to raise over £1000 which will go a long way to helping so many people. Thank you so much."

To read original article, please click here.

Also, Mark at The Village News is still taking cash donations for the Turkey and Syria Earthquake appeal, all of which goes directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) through his Payzone system. 

The Payzone system is also used for anyone to make domestic bill payments; such as gas & electricity and also for mobile phone top ups. Payzone have now added a function to make charity donations to the emergency appeal.

Eddie Beach: Chelsea FC professional footballer

Milford on Sea born, Eddie Beach is a 19 year old goalkeeper who signed professional terms with Chelsea FC from Southampton FC in June 2022. 

The first team Eddie played for was Milford Youth FC and his career has impressively developed from there. He has also been capped at youth level by Wales.

Eddie has trained regularly with the Chelsea first-team goalkeepers this season and he has already been involved in seven first-team matchday squads. He has now been loaned temporarily to Chelmsford FC in the National League in order to gain matchday experience, hopefully, on his journey to the Premiership.

A really open and honest article has been published in 'football.london' where Eddie gives a frank interview on his journey from Sunday league football, both outfield as well as between the posts.


To read the full article in 'football.london', please click here.

To read Eddie's professional profile at Chelsea FC, please click here.

David Peach: (born 21 January 1951) is a former professional footballer, who played at left back for Southampton FC. He was also in the FA Cup Final winning Southampton FC side in 1976.


Michael Keeping: Southampton FC and Fulham FC professional footballer in the 1920/30's. He went on to manage the giant Real Madrid from January 1948 to October 1950.



Fred Keeping: Father to Michael above, was not a footballer, but he did win an Olympic silver medal in the 12 hour cycling race. He also founded Fred Keeping & Sons, a business selling & servicing cars and bicycles. 

The building still exists, and still trades servicing cars in Milford on Sea village centre. Now known as 'The Garage', it harks back to the days when the big sign above Fred's door simply read 'Garage'.
