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.
We were excited to celebrate Volunteers’ Week on Wednesday 4th June with a Volunteers’ Picnic. A wonderful day was had by all at the Ferring Country Centre. The sun was shining, the music played. There was plenty of tea and cake consumed and even some Pétanque! Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable event. A special thanks to Ferring Country Centre for hosting the picnic, Mike Fry from Waves Music Therapy for his wonderful musical entertainment throughout, to Dr Tim Fooks the High Sheriff of West Sussex, Cllr Alan Butcher the Mayor of Littlehampton, Cllr Freddie Tandy the Chairman of Arun District Council, who all came along to join us. Of course, not forgetting all the wonderful volunteers who do a fantastic job in the local community.
Small charities like yours are at the heart of our communities. That’s why we’re excited to announce the return of Small Charity Week from 23-28 June. Small Charity Week is the perfect time to get out into your community to spread the word, plan fundraising events, or find new volunteers. So, get the date in your diary and start planning how you’re going to make the most of this year’s campaign.
