The Jempson Foundation have made another donation to a worthy cause
We are always proud and happy to help our local community through our donations. We have just this week made a donation of £250 to the running costs of Playden WI Hall.
We understand that the annual cost to maintain the village hall has now reached $8,000, placing a significant burden on Playden WI. Despite their tireless efforts to organize various fundraising events, they are finding it increasingly challenging to raise the necessary funds.
The Playden WI Community Hall is truly a cherished asset for our community. Losing it would create an irreplaceable void in the facilities available to those in the surrounding area. One of the oldest community halls in the country, founded in 1921, this space serves as a vital hub for local groups. The hall offers a warm welcome to individuals from every corner of the community, providing a safe and convenient gathering place for all. It’s important that we rally together to support this cherished institution that plays such a crucial role in the local community.
We’re excited to share another wonderful donation!
We’re excited to share some more wonderful news!
Thanks to our amazing customers and their generous donations, the Jempson Foundation is thrilled to contribute £8,200 to the Rye Food Bank! Together, we’re making a positive impact in our community! Thank you for your support!
The Rye Food Bank are an independent foodbank serving residents of Rye and the surrounding villages. They are entirely staffed by volunteers and are wholly financed by charitable giving.
Their goal is to help those having difficulty buying food, for any reason. They can offer a warm welcome and even try to cater to specific food requirements for those in need. Rye Food Bank are open every Wednesday from 12:00 to 14:00 in the hall at the rear of the Baptist Church in Cinque Ports Street Rye.
Another worthy cause for the Jempson Foundation!
The Jempson Foundation along with our generous customer’s donations are happy to announce a donation of £1000 towards the Battle Food Bank!!
This is what the Battle Food Bank had to say:
“We’re very grateful to all the local customers who donate into the Jempsons fund. We have found in the last year that our physical donations are down by around 40-50% and as such when we receive money donations, this allows us to buy more food stocks and continue to offer a good variety of foods to those on the lowest incomes who are accessing the foodbank.
We’re also really pleased to be able to offer extra help to our clients through our advice service, meaning that we can help maximise the income of those using the foodbank, so they no longer need to access this crisis service”.
We are pleased to announce our donation to the Beckley Gardening Club
Beckley Gardening Club
Beckley CE Primary School have started a gardening club to inspire their children to grow their own food and flowers. The donation will provide tools for the pupils who hope to create a wild flower meadow to attract bees and insects vital which are vital for the sustainability of our planet. The anticipation is that this will encourage children to get into gardening at home and hopefully our donation will help inspire them to do so.
“Thank you to the Jempson Foundation for your generous contribution for Beckley School’s gardening club. We will use the money to purchase new equipment and inspire future horticulturists.”
