Organisations have until Friday, May 10, to apply for a grant, for cultural, charitable and sporting activities which benefit the community.

Among those given funding last year was St Barnabas House, which received £500 for its new Hospice at Home service, which provides nursing care for patients requiring end of life care in their own homes.

The grant enabled St Barnabas House to make a “significant difference” to the vital provision of care for Littlehampton residents.

Town council funding also went towards replacing swimming equipment, and helped with the purchase of public liability insurance and transport costs for Littlehampton Blind Club.

Application forms for grant aid are available from the town council offices at the Manor House, Church Street or they can be completed online on the council’s website www.littlehampton-tc.gov.uk and applicants will be notified by the end of June/early July.
