Community ‘pot of gold’ still up for grabs

ADUR Council is offering £70,000 to community groups and charities to spend on projects that will leave an enduring legacy in the district.

Projects must either improve the community’s facilities, the appearance of the district or the wellbeing of residents.

Last year Friends of St Mary du Haura received £11,500 for the restoration of the chime mechanism of the town clock, while £8,500 was given to Southwick Rangers FC to replace the windows and doors in the clubhouse.

Shoreham BMX track was awarded £8,000 for improvements to community facilities.

In Lancing, North Lancing School PTA received £500, while Lancing Methodist Church bagged almost £10,000.

If the initial bid is authorised, applicants will present their ideas to a live voting audience and a panel of judges.

The winners of that round will go before the full council before funding is released.

The closing date for applications is February 7, and people can apply online at www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/pot-of-gold/
