Case Study: Sunday Circus, Chichester

This is a new chichester based group offering circus skills for all.

I helped the organisation develop a constitution, gave sample child protection policies, and then advised them to set up a community group bank account with Barclays. After doing all this, I have helped Sunday Circus to apply for a grant from Sussex Community Foundation, the result of which will be known in June.

Neighbourhood Council

This organisation had recently been involved in the negotiation with the District Council of the representation of the local community's views regarding a local park. The organisation were keen to have a document setting out terms of reference for the District Council and organisation discussing the local issues together.


Polish Community Group

The Polish Community Worker approached me to discuss what support could be provided to a group of Polish individuals, who were potentially looking to set up a new local community association.


Cooking Workshops

A local parent with a background in cooking professionally had been offering her time to local schools delivering cooking activity workshops to local children. In the main this activity had received no external funding; however donations of food were made by a local supermarket.


Blind Association in West Sussex

A blind association in West Sussex wanted an evaluation of their Listening and Information Service undertaken with a report that could be used to help future direction of the service and evidence for funding.
