Fundraising and donations

This year we are focussing on fundraising and projects to increase community participation through sport and physical activity, social activities, and accessible transport.

Disabled people are more likely to be socially isolated. Lack of accessible transport, funding, and support staff all contribute to making it more challenging for disabled people to get out and about and live independently.

Being active and connecting with people has a wide range of benefits to our health and wellbeing. And being able to take part in activities in our community promotes independence, strengthens our sense of community, and helps us to directly contribute to our local economy.

We offer: 
  • Social Support: We have social groups and coffee mornings, and community events during the school holidays that you can come along to.
  • Volunteer: We offer flexible and supportive volunteering opportunities to disabled people who live in or near Worthing. 
  • Get Yourself Active! Inclusive and accessible physical activity and sport activities in West Sussex. Plus there is support and guidance for social workers and brokerage teams on including physical activity in support plans and using Direct Payments to fund participation.
We spoke to Chris who volunteered at our Halloween Fun Day and the importance of fundraising to support disabled people to take part in social activities. Read his blog.
