Crawley Community Action (CCA), previously known as CVS, is an independent charity that offers advice, help and support to local Crawley charities, voluntary and community groups. They're well established in the area and supported by Sussex Community Foundation, West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council and the RPD Foundation.

Sue Bloom, the Chair of Trustees from CCA said: "60 years is such a huge milestone, and we couldn't be prouder of what we have achieved over the years for the local community. As you would expect, community means so much to us. We all feel we've helped to make a positive difference to people's lives and protected the community by helping to keep it safe, which to me, deserves a celebration.”

CCA has helped and supported numerous new, emerging and established local groups, including local sports clubs, arts organisations and various community service organisations and centres tackling inequalities, marginalised communities and many other areas of need in Crawley.

Toby Shaw, the Deputy CEO of CCA said: "Our 60th anniversary happened in 2020; however, we were unable to celebrate it due to the pandemic, so this belated event is the perfect time to showcase our work, achievements and gratitude to everyone who is involved. Here's to the next 60 years!".
