THE SUMMER GARDEN PARTY IS COMING…
Our volunteer organiser Nina has been busy! Here’s what you can expect from our different zones on the day....
Local help for vulnerable young
The ‘Discover your Future’ project is a 4-6 week programme which supports young people, aged 15-25 years, providing opportunities to learn various skills whilst being mentored on future work/volunteer opportunities to enhance their skills.
Putting the spark back into The Lodge
"Spark Something Good" volunteers from the M&S store in Chichester came out in force to help our community building, The Lodge, at Graylingwell Park.
What is going on at CCDT?
People are getting to know Chichester Community Development Trust and yet there are still lots of misconceptions. I thought it would be good to introduce some of the members of our small team to give you a flavour of life at CCDT as well as giving you a brief introduction to CCDT’s work…
How we create a special volunteer thank you hug
We like to make our volunteers feel special; after all they make a huge contribution to the local community and to Chichester Community Development Trust. So we’ve set up a Volunteer Reward Card voucher system.
Desperately Seeking Perfection
The Graylingwell Chapel steering group are on a mission! They are crossing the counties looking at examples of chapels, churches and repurposed buildings that have been transformed into working, successful and profitable community hubs.
Graylingwell: what stories to tell? Heritage Interpretation
It is daunting but also extremely exciting as we look at images, stories, blueprints and objects, and work to create a distinctive experience that will attract and engage visitors.
Working together to make a big impact
We were really pleased to get a visit from Nina, a local resident, the other day. Nina told us that residents found the What’s On hard work and they didn't enjoy wading through the information to find out which events were relevant.
Volunteering: meet people, improve your CV and feel part of the community
It's Volunteers' Week: we are celebrating our wonderful volunteers and asking if anyone else wants to get involved.
A bit of community magic… the creation of The Lodge
The community spirit was palpable as 33 residents and volunteers got together to finish The Lodge, a community building for Graylingwell Park.
