Street pastors were given a boost of more than Â£500 from a supermarket today (Wednesday, May 4).

The Rye and District Street Pastors were presented with a cheque for £571.78 by Jempson’s at its Rye store.

The pastors patrol the streets of Rye, Camber and Rye Harbour every other Friday and Saturday night.

Senior street pastor Malcolm Harris thanked the independent supermarket for its continued support.

Owner Stephen Jempson said he was delighted to support the team.

“These trained volunteers offer invaluable support to the residents of Rye as well as other local communities for which we are very grateful,” he said.

If anyone would like to find out more information about becoming a street pastor or to support them in any way, contact co-ordinator Nizam Mohammed on 07717 221717.
