Chair Karl Allison says: “This round of funding really shows the range of projects we are able to support. There’s arts, sports, leisure, the environment and social infrastructure. It’s a well- balanced set of awards. If the people of Worthing keep putting their old clothes and shoes into our textile recycling bins, then we’ll be able to keep making awards like these.”
The new round of funding is already open for applications. Closing date is April 30th.
