Creating a vibrant, resilient future for all.

Our initiatives are varied and shaped by the needs and interests of the local community.

They include supporting local organisations and businesses, creating new opportunities and identifying and delivering projects that bring broad benefits to the local community. Our Gallery page illustrates some of our past and current initiatives.

Delivering Solutions Together

We offer advice, support and signposting for local organisations and businesses, including grants, publicity, resources, and volunteer recruitment.

Examples of where we have helped:

  • Henfield Bowls Club to obtain a grant to refurbish one of their cloakrooms.

  • Walking Netball for initial funding and training.

  • Henfield Leisure Centre applying for grants for the construction of the Padel courts and conversion of the old squash courts into three new function rooms.

  • Henfield Youth Club in recruiting volunteers.

  • Organising a workshop for local organisations on grant funding, governance and volunteer recruitment.

Bringing Communities Together

Bringing people together through community events and neighbourly get‑togethers.
