Community groups in Adur to receive cash boost

A cash injection of more than £35,000 is to be given to five community groups in Adur as part of the District Council's small grants programme.

The Community Grants are provided to assist groups and not-for-profit organisations looking to make a positive difference to the people in the area with a focus on improving quality of life and wellbeing.

The companies are Cycall, an all-inclusive cycling project which provides adapted cycling equipment and outdoor games for children and adults.

Vida Active Club CIC will also receive money. It's a fitness and dance studio for women and seniors.

The Extraime Holiday Scheme offers children and young people the chance to take part in fun activities and to socialise in a safe environment.

Albion in the Community is the official charity of Brighton & Hove Albion, which help people to get active, learn new skills, and live well throughout Sussex.

And Sid Youth CiC is an organisation that delivers support to young people in Adur, Worthing and the surrounding areas.

Cllr Kevin Boram, Adur’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing, said: “We are delighted to be able to reward and hand these community groups some well-deserved funding for all their efforts.

“All of these not-for-profit organisations carry out exceptional work in the community to ensure people of all ages have access to facilities and equipment to boost their fitness and wellbeing. It is thoroughly well deserved."
