Adur charity set to move to new location - 'we look forward to welcoming you'

Adur Voluntary Action (AVA) has announced it will be leaving its current office at Station Parade in Lancing.

AVA, which was founded in 1959, has been based at the site for the past two and a half years.

While the charity said it was ‘sad to announce’ the news , AVA has already found a new home.

An AVA spokesperson said: “Thankfully, Lancing Parish Council have come to our rescue and have provided us with an office space to rent upstairs at the Parish Hall.

“We are extremely grateful for their support as this means AVA will be able to continue our work supporting local groups, matching volunteers with volunteering opportunities, and providing Digital Support Sessions and our Repair Cafe.

“We would like to thank the local community for their support and visits over the past few years, we have loved meeting with you all and supporting local groups from the space.”

AVA can be found at Lancing Parish Hall, 96 South Street, from Monday, November 2.

Its office will be open from 9.30am to 2pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and from 9.30am to 12pm on Fridays.

You can also find AVA at Lancing Parish Hall Community Hub on Thursdays from 10am to 12pm, and at The Gateway Hub Fishersgate on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm.

In addition to supporting local organisations, the charity also runs a range of community-based projects, including ‘digital essentials’ courses which help people get online and ‘craftivism’ which offers a space to use craft as a tool for change and connection.

The charity’s spokesperson added: “We look forward to welcoming you to our new office soon.”
