The forum at Friends Meeting House, in Mill road, Worthing, will include a talk on Worthing Community Chest about funding for new projects, afternoon tea and the unveiling of a glass window on Worthing Pier.
The forum on January 17 is a final celebration of the work of Voluntary Action Worthing, which will close at the end of January as funding was withdrawn in 2016.

Hide AdJaqui Ball, chairman, said: “We would like to record our enormous thanks to the staff of VAW past and present who helped create an organisation that was so effective and well regarded by the voluntary sector in Worthing.”
To mark the closure, VAW will be producing a Legacy Report to record some of the work since its formation in 1992.
This will include the views and opinions of groups who have been helped by VAW over many years.
Jacqui added: “We would like to say a big thank-you to all those who have contributed to this final report. The many kind testimonies received from our members are much appreciated by the Trustees of VAW.”

Hide AdBrighton and Hove Community Works has agreed to take on the running of the forums, as the VAW board was concerned member organisations would no longer have the opportunity to meet regularly at the popular forums.
At the first forum for 2019, members will have the opportunity to share information, including leaflets, and there will be a question and answer session about forums for the future, following an introduction by Community Works.
The forum runs from 2pm to 4pm. To reserve a place, contact the partnerships manager on 07795341542 or email [email protected]
