The Jempson Foundation recently made a £500 donation to Rye’s Christmas festival as a contribution towards the town’s spectacular annual event.
Liz Pendennis, one of the principal organisers of the festival, said : “We would like to thank the Jempson Foundation for their support, and this donation will be used to provide street entertainment within the town during this year’s festival.”
Stephen Jempson said: “The Foundation was established in 2010, Jempson’s 75th anniversary, on the principle of supporting local projects and charities.
“We are delighted to be able to offer our support and we hope that our contribution will make a difference to the local community which we are proud to serve,” he said.
