Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Our vision is to see a strong, vibrant voluntary and community sector that supports, inspires and empowers individuals and communities throughout Arun and Chichester.
We do this through 1-1 support and advice, training and networking events, helping groups to start-up and develop their work.
Jackie Sumner, our CEO, joined My Sister’s House as they welcomed the newly appointed High Sheriff of West Sussex, Mrs Philippa Gogarty to Bognor Regis. This special occasion was met with excitement and anticipation for the positive impact she will bring to the community.
The Big Help Out is a national campaign designed to inspire volunteering. This year it’s taking place across the weekend of 7 to 9 June, to mark the end of Volunteers’ Week.
Join us for a free Big Help Out webinar on 3 April. Learn about this year’s plans, including how the campaign can support volunteer recruitment and engagement in your organisation.
