This fundraising campaign is being organised by Sean/Fat Gay Vegan.

Please help us support Lianna, the owner of independent vegan business LD's Kitchen, after she was assaulted and robbed on her way home from work.

After an incredibly busy night in the kitchen, Lianna was waiting at a bus stop when she was punched in the stomach and had her mobile phone stolen.

As well as the physical and emotional impact of experiencing something so frightening, Lianna has been left without an essential piece of equipment she needs to run her business. Unfortunately, her phone was not insured, meaning she now faces the unexpected expense of replacing it herself.

For an independent business owner, a mobile phone is much more than a way to keep in touch. It is an essential tool for managing orders, communicating with customers, marketing, capturing content, organising work, and keeping the business running.

We are asking our wonderful vegan and wider community to come together and help raise £1,000 so Lianna can replace her stolen phone and get back to running LD's Kitchen without this additional financial burden.

If we are fortunate enough to raise more than our target, every additional penny will go towards equipment and business expenses as LD's Kitchen continues to grow in its new home inside The Imperial Palace of Big Red.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family and social media networks would mean just as much.

Lianna deserves to feel supported by the community she is part of. Let's show her that she is not facing this difficult situation alone.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
