New play equipment on the way at Brede
The committee has so far raised an impressive £2,400 from fundraising activities and donations from, among others, Rye Police and Brede Farmers Market.
A sum of £4,500 was secured from Brede Parish Council as a result of a match-funding offer from Rother District Council.

Hide AdLouisa Cooper, BOBs Secretary said, “This is quite a milestone for us in what is turning out to be quite a large project.
“Thank you to everyone for your support. These donations have swelled our funding pot total to nearly £11,500 which has allowed us to begin purchasing the first equipment which includes swings and a see-saw.
“But this is only the beginning – we need to raise a further £50,000 to reach our target so all donations will be very welcome! We have much more to do”.
The next fund raising event is a ‘Mods and Rockers’ evening, on December 10, with music, dancing and more! For more details or tickets (at £10 each) see their Facebook page www.facebook.com/canyouhelpbob or call 01424 883548 for tickets.
