We would like to invite you to our next quarterly event for helper agencies in the South East region. This event will focus on 'Improving Your Chances' with particular attention on outcomes and evidencing need. We will also give a short update with news from the Big Lottery Fund.

The events are being held on:

We are pleased to let you know that Sussex Community Foundation has been asked to administer the BBC Region grants from Comic Relief in Sussex for the next two years.

These grants are for £15,000 per year for two years and one will be awarded  on a  (very!) competitive basis per region. West Sussex comes within BBC South Region.

COMMUNITY CASHBACK is a new scheme in England and Wales which gives local people a say in how £4 million of recovered criminal assets should be spent in their communities.

Earlier this year, a new £16.7m Hardship Fund for the third sector was announced to build on the Real Help for Communities action plan. The fund will provide grant support to third sector organisations in England delivering front-line services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society who have been affected by the recession.
