The Argus has launched a £10,000 appeal to help the victims of Sussex's flood rebuild their lives.

It is two weeks since the worst floods in living memory devastated Lewes and Uckfield, destroying homes and businesses.

Businesses across Sussex are urged to ring a hotline number to help us reach our £10,000 target.

We are looking for donations of a prize or service to the Flood Appeal Auction. Your donation, however, must be worth a minimum of £150.

The Argus will publish an Appeal Auction supplement giving details of each donation, the companies making the pledges, a lot number and guide price.

The hotline number, open Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5.30pm, is 01273 544712.

You can also fax on 01273 544723, or e-mail: heidi.walter@argus-btn.co.uk
