About Friends of NCF

In 2007 the founders of Friends of NCF, Steve and Liz Jennings went to Kampala. Whilst there they met some inspirational local Ugandans who had begun a small mission teaching slum children and supporting their families. They returned home determined to help the children and families living in the slum community in Namuwongo and ‘Friends’ was born.


Support started with the sponsorship of children in secondary education and then developed into fundraising for a school building. As the project continued to grow, ‘Friends’ began to finance a feeding programme to help the undernourished children receive a meal during their school day.

Friends of NCF also provide a free newsletter for moral or financial supporters, and welcome anyone wishing to do a fundraising event or challenge. To find out more please contact Matthew at: office@friendsofncf.org

Which is the Crabbing Bridge?

A local question was recently posted on Facebook by Jonathan Ruddle; "I've been here 3 years but I still don't know... When people talk about the 'Crabbing Bridge', which one between Sturt Pond and the sea do they mean? And what is the other one called?"

You can see the debate that ensued by clicking here.

My vote goes to below... 

First Bridge: Crabbing Bridge 
Sturt Pond. Closest to The Lighthouse in Hurst Road, Milford on Sea.


Second Bridge: Cut Bridge 
Junction of New Lane & Saltgrass Lane, Milford on Sea.


The Bridge - 1941
