How did you hear about Worthing Community Chest?*
Your group or organisation is required to nominate one person to participate on the grants appraisal panel for a minimum of one year. Please indicate below whether you feel able to meet this requirement:*
- Yes
- No
The appraisal panel brings together representatives of successful groups from our previous funding rounds. Without an independent panel such as this, we would be unable to continue to support groups like yours. The appraisal panel meets just four times a year, with each session taking approximately two hours. Full training is provided.

You will be able to make your nomination if your application is successful. We understand that in some circumstances it is impossible to attend and are happy to discuss this with you.
If you feel unable to meet this requirement, or have any concerns, please let us know here:
All the money we raise through our recycling programme comes back to local community groups through our funding. We ask all our funded groups to help us with our recycling so that we can keep actively supporting our community in this way. Please nominate a member of your group to be our Recycling Partner. This person can be the same as the Project Lead and/or Appraisal Panel member.*

Please give us the name and email address of your chosen recycling contact. If it is you, please let us know.
