Making space for community.

We help communities across Chichester create bright futures by managing welcoming community buildings, shared spaces and local venues that bring people together. Working with residents, partners, and local organisations, we create inclusive places where connection, opportunity and community life can thrive.

As a local charity, we support and empower community groups through events, projects, and volunteering opportunities.

Hire our spaces, attend an event, join an activity or volunteer with us — and play your part in bringing our community to life.
