BEXHILL ROTARY GIVES A HELPING HAND TO THE YOUNG POLLINATORS

Lindsay White got in touch with Bexhill Rotary Club to seek help because her Community Supporters and Young Pollinators, of which she is founder and CEO, have been offered use of a shop on Ninfield Road in Sidley to have a youth nature hub.

Lindsay continued, “This will be part of the Young Pollinators project but will also offer two hours a day after school nature club for working families, and a safe and warm place.”

This was a request that Bexhill Rotarians just couldn’t resist, so on Monday 15th April President James Slinn and Community Service Committee member Peter Halligan dropped in to the charity’s Eco Hub in Western Road Mall to meet the Young Pollinators and present them with a cheque for £250.

Young Pollinators is part of the Community Supporters and was set up by Lindsay White three years ago to advance the education of the public in environmental protection and the natural environment, and to promote conservation protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment for public benefit.

The Charity has been involved in many activities and projects including co-hosting, along with the United Nations Association Climate & Oceans, several online webinars about COP26 and the 2021 IPPC report. They are currently fundraising to install an access ramp and beach garden on Bexhill beach at West Parade, a project that Bexhill Rotary Club has pledged to support.

The Young Pollinators have recently been awarded a significant donation alongside support through Southern Water employee volunteering, expertise sharing and partnership opportunities whilst they are working together.

Community Supporters opened their latest venue in Sidley to provide additional opportunities t0 people of all ages to learn craft skills and ways to recycle and repair. Their websites www.communitysupports.org.uk and www.youngpollintors.uk detail their full programme of events and activities.
