Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Our vision is to see a strong, vibrant voluntary and community sector that supports, inspires and empowers individuals and communities throughout Arun and Chichester.
We do this through 1-1 support and advice, training and networking events, helping groups to start-up and develop their work.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our AGM on Wednesday 21st July. It was really lovely to see so many of our members and partners, and to celebrate not only our successes, but also all of the amazing achievements of the voluntary sector over the past year.
Thank you to Ian Noble for a very interesting overview of the Charity Mentors scheme.
Our Annual Impact Report is now available to view by clicking the link below.
Do you need some help to run your charity or community group? Are you struggling to know what policies you need, or need support to put effective strategies in place? Maybe you are just starting out and feel overwhelmed, or you need help with funding or recruiting volunteers?
Whatever you need help with, our development team are on hand! They can offer 1:1 advice on a whole range of topics, and the support is free for all VAAC members.
So if you would like to speak to one of the team, contact Chris for a referral form today.
Community Transport Forum
Online (via zoom)
2pm - 4.30pm
Community Transport Sussex will be launching new services and establishing 2 new depots in Arun and Chichester. This meeting will be to establish a regular forum for Community Transport groups and all those organisations for whom transport is an issue. CT Sussex want to hear about what issues groups have at the moment, where there are gaps in provision and find out the best way that they can help to develop community transport across the areas. CT Sussex will be able to offer a greater level of support to community transport groups in the districts as well as delivering a good deal of services themselves. Come and hear the plans and get involved in the conversations in your area. This meeting will be hosted by VAAC and led by Matt Roberts, CT Sussex.
