We support engagement into neighbourhood networks Hanover and Elm Grove forum, Queens park community and we foster community led public & private partnership projects.
We work with some amazing local partners, including Tarner Community Project, Hyde Housing Foundation, Brighton Unemployed Centre Family Project and Tarner Children’s Centre.
We also nurture the growth of new small community groups. We offer information, advice, fundraising, training, engagement work and project planning.
The Pankhurst and Craven Vale food bank has adapted to Covid-19 by offering support with shopping and delivery rather than collection to maintain social distancing. They average 100 deliveries to 200 people each week. They coordinate donations from the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership, FareShare, Morrisons, the Sussex Gleaning Network and crowdfunding with a team of 21 volunteers.
Recent examples of groups we've worked with include:
