Littlehampton community groups can apply for a share of £21,000 funding

The application process opens tomorrow (Wednesday, April 1), and closes on Friday, May 8.

It is available to any charitable or not-for-profit club, group or organisation in Littlehampton. Applicants need to demonstrate their group benefits members of the community by offering cultural enrichment, advice or support, or by providing sporting activities.

The council said all applications are considered on the basis of merit, aims and objectives.

th, Billy Blanchard-Cooper said: “We are living through unprecedented times and now more than ever we have to pull together for the greater good.

“The council recognises that the current situation has brought big challenges to the many community groups delivering key services in the town.

“We are therefore conscious of the need to continue to support this sector in achieving its objectives and hope to provide even more support by allocating a larger budget for grants this year.”

In 2019 the council awarded grants to groups to fund a variety of resources including a new fully accessible room for the Creative Heart Centre, counselling sessions for residents with Lifecentre and supporting the work of My Sisters’ House.

Application details, along with full criteria, can be found online at www.littlehampton-tc.gov.uk/grants.

Successful applicants will find out in July.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

Thank you for reading this story on our website.

But I also have an urgent plea to make of you.

In order for us to continue to provide high quality local news on this free-to-read site and in print, please purchase a copy of our newspaper as well. With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on our town centres and many of our valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you buying a copy.

Our journalists are highly trained by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards anywhere in the world. Our content is universally trusted - as all independent research proves.

As Baroness Barran said in a House of Lords debate this week on the importance of journalists: “Not only are they a trusted source of facts, but they will have a role to play in rallying communities and getting the message across about how we can keep ourselves and our families safe, and protect our NHS. Undoubtedly, they have a critical role.”

But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis. In return we will continue to forensically cover the local news - not only the impact of the virus but all the positive and uplifting news happening in these dark days.

In addition, please write to your MP urging the Government to provide some additional financial support for local newspapers and their websites like this one and ensuring that supermarkets continue to stock them. I cannot stress enough how important such an intervention would be.

We thank all our readers and advertisers for their understanding and support - and we wish YOU all the best in the coming weeks. Keep safe, and follow the Government advice. Thank you.
