The Jempson Foundation are delighted to make a donation to the Wittersham School Association.

“This was a request from the children on the School Council who asked if a bird hide, binoculars and other learning resources could be purchased for the Wildlife Garden here at the School. Lockdown saw many children become interested in birdwatching and we use this space during lunchtimes and Wildlife Club. It is really good to have the support of Jempson’s, it means a lot to the children to know that the wider community are taking an interest in their wellbeing and development – they feel heard and valued” Claire, Headteacher

The Jempson Foundation are very pleased to make a donation to Warming up the Homeless, a Charity based in Bexhill on Sea who support vulnerable men, women and children who are experiencing homelessness, food poverty and social isolation.

“This donation will go towards the Jubilee Party we are organising for up to 55 homeless children, who are currently living in emergency accommodation hostels. They will have had their whole life turned upside down so to give them some normality at this time will be so good. Thank you to Jempson’s for their contribution to help make this possible” Trudy, CEO Warming Up The Homeless

The Jempson Foundation are delighted to make a donation to Community Poppy Knitters in Hawkhurst to support their Summer Community Activities and Hawkfest 12^th-14^th August 2022!

“The Kids Club we run for three weeks during the school holidays, provides hot meals, craft and sports activities. Thank you to Jempson’s for donating to this cause which will give children healthy, positive experiences during the Summer Holidays.” Lisa, Community Poppy Knitters

The Jempson Foundation are delighted to make a donation to Bexhill Caring Community to help celebrate their volunteers!

“The first week of June is Volunteering Week and we are holding a Cream Tea to thank our Volunteers for their hard work and dedication. They give up their time to help as Befrienders, Drivers and Volunteers in the Day Centre and Home Library Service for the elderly and their commitment and time is highly valued. We’d like to thank Jempson’s for their wonderful donation to make this event possible.” Jackie, Bexhill Caring Community

Jempson’s are proud to support our local farmers, growers, producer and services, as well as the communities that we are privileged to serve.

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the terrible events that are unfolding in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people are foremost in our thoughts and we stand in solidarity with them.

It is therefore with immediate effect, that the beneficiary of all our in-store charity boxes will be transferred to fundraising for those whose lives have been affected at this desperately difficult time.

All Jempson’s stores and the Rye Bakery outlets are offering customers and colleagues the opportunity to give their support by way of a voluntary donation of £1 when at our store till points. We will match this, with all the donations received to our in-store charity collection boxes, up to £10,000.

All monies raised will be donated to the ‘Salvation Army Disasters Fund’.

The Salvation Army have emergency teams stationed in Ukraine, as well as Poland, Moldova, Slovakia and other surrounding countries.

Let’s try and reach £20,000 in the coming weeks to reach those in urgent need.

Thank you for your support,

Stephen and all at Jempson’s.
