Jempson’s charitable trust “The Jempson Foundation” made a donation to Rye College to support their Eco club’s bike rack project.
Amy Biddle from Rye College said “Rye College runs a very passionate extra-curricular Eco club whose members meet once a week to discuss green initiatives and raise money via regular bake sales to help fund some of their plans. These include funding for greener spaces, including a student led wildlife friendly garden and vegetable patch, a new bike rack and shelter to encourage more students to bike to school, improved recycling facilities within the school and working with the canteen to reduce waste and promote reusable materials. Their aim is for a more sustainable and greener school environment for all to enjoy”.
She continued “We are very grateful for the very kind donation given to us by the Jempson Foundation. We are delighted to now have enough funding for our new bike shelter which will make a big difference to lots of students in our community. Thank you Jempson’s!”
Stephen Jempson said “The Jempson Foundation was established to extend our support into the local communities where we operate our stores. It was with tremendous pleasure that we made this donation to Rye College’s Eco club for their bike shelter and that this support will make a difference to those that attend and their Eco Club’s green initiative”.
