Lancing Parish Council Community
Adur Voluntary Action works to support community development and the Voluntary and Community Sector across Adur. We support the growth of local organisations by providing funding advice, networking opportunities, information on governance and organisational development, and our Volunteer Centre matches volunteers with volunteering opportunities in the local area.
Adur Voluntary Action also runs projects alongside our local community.
- We run a Digital Essential’s Drop In session every Monday (10am – 11.30am) to help people get online and grow their confidence and digital skills.
- We run a Repair Cafe every third Saturday of the month where members of the community can work with a repair cafe “fixer” to learn how to make simple repairs on everyday items to reduce waste going to landfill.
