David Simmons, executive member for health and wellbeing, and Les Alden, ward member for Eastbrook, recently visited Fishersgate Youth Club to award the funds, which will enable them to continue their work to meet the needs of young people in Sussex.
Mr Simmons said: “At Adur District Council we are proud to continue our small grants programme, which provides a much-needed cash boost for groups and good causes, as well as recognising the role played by our vibrant voluntary and community sector.”
The Adur Community Grants will re-open in April. Voluntary, community or social enterprises in the district can find out more at the Adur Community Grants page of the council website.
