About AVA
Adur Voluntary Action (AVA) is a local charity that’s been helping communities and voluntary groups in Adur thrive for over 60 years.
Support
Alongside our work connecting volunteers and building networks, we offer tailored support to local voluntary and community organisations — whether you’re just getting started or looking to grow.
Projects
In addition to supporting local organisations, we run a range of community-based projects that bring people together, build confidence, and help tackle real-world challenges.
Volunteering
Volunteering is a powerful way to give back, connect with others, and grow — both personally and professionally.
