Appraisal Panel Grants February 2016

Malcolm Brett

As a trustee of the Worthing Community Chest it was my privilege and pleasure to chair the latest grant funding Appraisal Panel on 24th February.

The 10 panel members gather to consider a total of 11 applications, these ranged from allotments to mobility assistance, to artistic works as well as more active leisure pursuits.

The projects covered a wide range age groups from all parts of the community.

Each of the applications were discussed and awarded grants on their merits, the important thing was how they benefited the people in the local area.

Worthing is a very diverse community with a whole lot of varied activities and it is always good that the Community Chest can help and support these groups and organisations.

Applications will soon be sought for the next round of the Appraisal Panel meeting in May.
