Unlike today, membership of MOSHRS in 1909 was not automatic. “One was not lightly a member – the question was carefully considered and one’s attainments and social position were weighed and to be elected was a real distinction”, according to founder member Hylda Bruce, writing in 1960.

Support the Friends of NCF
Milford on Sea based charity,
Friends of NCF (Namuwongo Community Foundation) funds a school for over 400
children who live in poverty in the slums of Kampala, Uganda. They also provide
meals, social & medical care.
The charity aims to keep education at the heart of all they do in order to transform the lives of some of the neediest people in society.
However, they face a great dilemma and challenge this year, as they need at raise at least an additional £30,000 to continue the NCF Secondary School, £10,000 to maintain the scale of Primary School, as well as £5000 to sustain the feeding programme. This is over and above what they will raise in 2023 through committed giving, corporate sponsorship, events & fundraising. Without the funds there is a fear that children and students may return to the slums to face a life without great hope.
Milford on Sea resident, Matthew
Brearley is the Chair of Trustees and he said; "As
with so many charities, the fundraising challenge is difficult & never
ending. We’re facing some really tough decisions for the kids & vulnerable
families in the Namuwongo slums. We would like to increase our subscriber
numbers and would welcome anyone who would like to join to us to fundraise,
support us with donations, or just provide moral support."
Matthew and his wife Nicola are currently visiting the project in Uganda. this is a critical trip as they plan, prioritise and agree the way forward for NCF given the financial and sustainability challenges.
They have also taken with them charity bags which are full with school uniform, medical supplies and books/games for the school library.
