Successful applicants for the latest round of Rye Fund awards gathered at the town hall last Wednesday, January 15. They were welcomed by Charles Bronsdon, chair of the grant-making panel, and received individual certificates from the mayor, Councillor Michael Boyd. Each recipient made a brief presentation explaining to the assembled company the purpose for which the grant was needed by their local voluntary organisation.<br />
<br />
Chris Emson, with Janet Sherwood representing the Rye branch of the Bexhill food bank, spoke of the continuing need for food parcels to support Rye families; the Patients Participation Group at the Ferry Road Health Centre is planning to hold events at the new Rye Hub, for which funding would be needed, said Veryan Pollard.<br />
The purchase of a new safety/rescue boat for the Rye Harbour Sailing Club Sailability project will be part-funded by the Rye Fund award said Caroline Wylson. Pat Hughes welcomed the Fund’s continuing support for Rye and District Community Transport. “This is more than a bus service, it is a club”, said Pat. Phillip Whiteman accepted the award on behalf of Rye and District Sea Cadets for upgrading the "heads", the naval term for changing room and toilet facilities.<br />

Brenda Snashell outlined the work of the Rye and District Street Pastors, and Jane Fitch was warm in her acknowledgement for the Rye Fund’s financial backing for the Rye Christmas Festival. Martin Blincow spoke movingly about the work of Rye Cricket Club in encouraging younger players. Kirsty Doherty reported enthusiastically on the Rye Festival of the Sea, now in its third year. Jo Kirkham for Rye Museum thanked the Fund for help with the creation of the new study area at the East Street site.<br />
Richard Moore, chair and founder of the Rye Wurlitzer Academy (RWA), had been prevented from attending by the seasonal bug going around. He sent a message though noting that “RWA is now in its 10th year and 120 students at Rye College have gone through our very special project in that time. We currently have not only a national champion but also a runner up from the competition that took place in London last March. This year the Young Theatre Organist competition is in Solihull in July where we will once again represented.”<br />
<br />
<br />
Sandy Spencer on behalf of Strandliners reported on the effort to keep our coastal environment litter-free. This new group seeks to identify and record the sources of waste whether emanating upstream from the Rother river or seaward from shipping. Finally, a grant was made towards replacement windows at Winchelsea New Hall, represented by Robert Mortimer.<br />
The awards mark the 11th year of grant funding made by the Rye Fund. Over that time, nearly £60,000 has been distributed to local voluntary organisations. The fund is administered by the Sussex Community Foundation, a registered charity, serving the whole of Sussex. Charles Bronsdon thanked members of the local panel for their work in judging the applications and congratulated the award winners for their commitment to creating a caring community throughout Rye and district. The next award round will be in October 2020 and applications will be welcomed from all quarters from both new and current applicants.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315118066472420286.post-25846341912278978542019-03-06T12:50:00.000+00:002019-03-06T12:51:01.286+00:00Rye Fund Awards presentation 2019<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Seven community organisations from Rye and district received substantial grant awards from the Rye Fund at a ceremony in Rye Town Hall on Wednesday January 17. The Rye Fund has been making awards of cash to local charitable and community organisations for nine years, and the latest grants were handed out by Charles Bronsdon, chair of the local panel which evaluates applications, and Councillor Jonathan Breeds, the Mayor of Rye.<br />
<br />
This year’s recipients showed a breadth of organisations and a range of applications that highlight how the Rye Fund helps community organisations to help a very wide community.<br />
<br />
<b>Northiam Community Friends</b> received £500 which it will use to pay for DBS checks for its volunteers as well as training and insurance to enable people in the village to help others.<br />
<br />
<b>Peasmarsh Flying Start</b> is using its £1,200 award to pay, among other things for small solid chairs for the toddlers at its pre-school.<br />
<br />
<b>ARRCC theatre</b> is using £1,000 to go towards much needed portable heaters which will make the theatre at the Rye Creative Centre a much more appealing venue for wider community use.<br />
<br />
<b>Rye Museum’s</b> £751 award will go to pay for a new projector, the current one having packed up, and a range of touchy feely objects like rope, soap and lace for children to handle in order top get to grips with the town’s (ig)noble past as a smuggling venue of international note.<br />
<br />
<b>Rye Christmas Festival </b>used its £1,500 award to pay for the specialist skills and workshop guidance that saw paper lanterns made and used by the children from four local schools in a procession that lit up the recent 2017 Festival.<br />
<br />
<b>Rye Community Garden </b>was given £500 which will help pay for some much-needed co-ordination form a paid helper in order to drum up interest in the wider community.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Rye & District Community Transport </b>received £1,500 which is being used to support the 326 Bus Service that runs 6 days a week and attracted 21.570 passengers in the year to December 2017.<br />
<br />
The Rye Fund was started in 2008 by a group of philanthropists who put £20,000 of their own money into an endowment fund with the intention of using income from the fund to help community organisations. They formed a steering group now chaired by Kenneth Bird, which in turn appoints a Local Panel to assess applications and make grants. The funds themselves, plus charitable status and governance are provided by Sussex Community Foundation, whose Stephen Chamberlain came from Lewes to the ceremony.<br />
<br />
Kenneth Bird said: “The fund has grown through investments, government grants and further generous donations from individuals to reach over £120,000. This year we were able to distribute £7,000. Whilst we are very much geared to supporting smaller organisations with grants in the hundreds of pounds if that is what needed, we will next year be able to offer a maximum size of grant of £2000, which might prove more attractive to larger groups.<br />
<br />
“The local panel would be delighted to speak to potential applicants and to receive applications ahead of next year’s deadline in the September 2018. We like to see money working and are thrilled to help local organisations help others!”<br />

Although the Fund has been awarding grants for six years this was the first time everyone had been invited together to applaud the varied achievements of these hard working community groups.

They will be attending the remembrance ceremonies of Anzac Day, held in recognition of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs) who lost their lives in Gallipoli during World War I. In addition to the obvious benefits to the two individuals, it is intended that they will act as "good ambassadors" for Rye and the UK.<br />
<br />
Their trip will be partly financed by The Rye Fund in its latest distribution of grants, which were agreed last month. The cadets are just one among 10 local community groups to receive grants in this latest round of awards, which total £7,000 and are made annually<br />
