Supporting communities to make a difference
We're investing to help communities in Adur and Worthing tackle everyday cost of living challenges. From shared childcare and batch cooking to innovative funding models, we want to create opportunities for local people to build solutions that matter. This is being funded by the Government's Shared Prosperity Fund.
Why this matters:
Strong communities happen when everyone's voice is heard and we work together to make our neighbourhoods thrive. This initiative is part of our commitment to:
- address the cost of living crisis
- build fairer, greener, and more connected communities
- empower residents to take action that has real impact
What's available:
We're commissioning £88,000 contract for delivery partners to:
- support grassroots projects in neighbourhoods
- help initiatives scale through innovative economic models
Once the delivery partner is appointed, they will be support groups to develop and grow practical projects to tackle the cost of living, through an externally funded community fund of £60,000.
What we're looking for:
We want experienced delivery partners with expertise in:
- supporting grassroots initiatives
- developing scalable, innovative funding models
- engaging communities inclusively and creatively
Join us in creating fairer, greener communities.
The applications have now closed and we are currently reviewing these. We will announce the organisation(s) delivering this programme in January.
We are currently reviewing the tenders by prospective delivery partners. Once the delivery partner has been selected, we will share next steps, including timelines for community groups to be able to access the £60,000 community fund.
