The Lords Feoffees have given funding to Hope Housing Bridlington to purchase security equipment for their properties in Bridlington.

Hope Housing Bridlington is a charitable organisation formed by the 20 Anglican churches of Bridlington Deanery and the trustees are senior church leaders.

The charity’s objective is the prevention or relief of poverty among homeless people in Bridlington by the provision of accommodation, mentoring, advice and signposting to relevant education and training.  The charity currently houses and provides support to six formerly homeless men.

Pictured are some of the trustees from Hope Housing Bridlington holding their written offer of financial support from the Lords Feoffees.

The Lords Feoffees recently gave funding to Bridlington’s Military Assistance Social Hub (M.A.S.H) for their members to attend Burton Constable Hall’s Winter Wonderland event.  The M.A.S.H group is aimed at both veterans and those currently serving who reside in Bridlington. Photo’s from the day kindly supplied by Michelle Leach.

On Sunday 19th December 2021, Regeneration of Bridlington Old Town (ROBOT) held a successful winter festival including a steampunk parade and music from Bridlington Excelsior Brass Band and Costal Voices Choir.  The Lords Feoffees arranged for the gates to be opened for the parade to continue under the archway of the historic Bayle.

Congratulations to Lords Feoffees scholarship recipient, Katalina Leighfield, who has graduated from Canterbury Christ Church University with a 2:1 in psychology.

“In September of 2018 I had the great opportunity to attend Canterbury Christ Church University to study Psychology, 3 years later I have graduated with a 2:1. I never saw university in my future, never mind achieving the grade I did. I’m not going to lie, University is hard, but being awarded the scholarship by Lord Feoffees helped me in more ways than one. I was able to attend university knowing that I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to afford the resources I needed. I enjoyed my time at university because I was able to thrive in my studies and be comfortable without worrying about how I was going to afford life at university: Lord Feoffees offered me security in that.”  Katalina Leighfield, July 2021.

Applications are open until 30 July 2021 to be considered for a Lords Feoffees Scholarship of up to £1,200 per year.

The Lords Feoffees new residential development is featured in the October 2019 issue of the Bridlington Echo.

Read Simon Kench’s full article online here on the Echo’s website.

The Lords Feoffees have built a new development of residential properties. The project has been the largest modern development the Lords Feoffees have undertaken and was executed with construction professionals from Maltech (UK) Ltd and Geo Houlton & Sons Ltd.

The new cul-de-sac, named Dairy Close, is situated off Scarborough Road on the site of the old Northern Dairies. The development of eight properties consists of four 2-bedroom semi-detached dormer cottages and four 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalows. Each property includes private parking and a private rear garden.

The Lords Feoffees are proud to continue to offer quality rental accommodation to the people of Bridlington and are pleased to welcome our new tenants to Dairy Close.

Lords Feoffees scholarship recipient, Ruby Walker, has graduated from the University of Oxford with a first class honours degree in history.

“I would like to thank the Lords Feoffees for offering such a generous scholarship to students from Bridlington. The money that I received from the grant was put to use to purchase a laptop, books for my course, and to help with the general costs associated with moving to university. The scholarship was straightforward to apply for, and undoubtedly made the transition from school student to undergraduate that bit easier. Altogether a great opportunity for hardworking students; I would thoroughly recommend applying.” Ruby Walker, August 2019

The Lords Feoffees are proud to help many hardworking Bridlington students, like Ruby, reach their academic potential.  Shortlisting for the 2019 scholarships is currently underway and applications for 2020 will open in the spring.  For more information regarding the Lords Feoffees scholarship click here.

Art student Amanda Harvey, pictured, (with deputy mayor, Cllr Jackie Foster, Principal Mike Welsh & tutor Joy Verda) was exhibiting one of many standout pieces as part of the final year of her level 3 art course and hopes to progress to a HNC in September.

Mandy is a student at East Riding College and has just achieved DD*D* on an Art & Design Extended Diploma Course.

“My final major piece of work was the dress, which took 170 hours to complete in total.  It was a huge amount of work.  It is looking at art history from old to new, is made of an old, water-damaged book and is even wearable!  I wanted to highlight the relevance of art history to young people and designers/artists today.”
