Support our community initiatives
At InOurArea, we believe in the power of community. Supporting us means making a tangible difference right where you live. We welcome your ideas to improve your local community and help to foster a deep sense of pride in the place you call home.
We support projects that captivate and enthuse residents of all ages, with community initiatives and both short-term and long-term projects, all designed to strengthen the social, cultural and economic fabric of towns and villages in Sussex and Hampshire.
We can help you refine your idea, develop an action plan to bring it to life, suggest funding sources and guide you in managing and maintaining your community project.
