Our vision
We want there to be: Connected, caring and cooperative communities across Adur.
What we do
At the heart of Adur, we promote togetherness by connecting people with local volunteering opportunities & organisations. We support charities, Community Interest Companies (CIC’s) and social enterprise groups to develop sustainably and find ways to give communities a voice.
How
We run our Adur wide volunteer centre from the Co-Op Meeting Space on Ham Road, Shoreham. You can pop in and speak to the team about any Adur volunteering opportunities. We also offer set-up and running support for small to mid-sized charities, CIC’s and social enterprises.
Additional services include our bank account hosting service for groups and governance, monitoring and charity adherence advice.
