This Appraisal Panel was for our final funding round of 2025 but if you have a Worthing project we can help you with, please do get in touch. Our next funding round grants will be awarded next spring, but we take applications for, and award, smaller grants throughout the year.

Our Appraisal Panel is made up of representatives of organisations who have previously received grant funding from us. They generously give their time and expertise to help make our grant awarding process democratic, fair and transparent.

To the lovely people who made up our Appraisal Panel on Wednesday, a huge "Thank you!" - not only from us, but on behalf of the groups you awarded funds to, and all the Worthing residents who will benefit from their projects.
