Charity & Community News

Arun beaches win award Littlehampton’s Coastguards Beach and Bognor Regis’ East Beach have yet again won Seaside Awards (resort/ bathing) for the 2023 bathing season. The flag is a symbol of quality which ensures visitors are guaranteed to find a clean, safe, attractive and well-managed coastal area, however the award is not related to water quality.

Arun Chairman’s charity choice

Cllr Alison Cooper, Arun District Council Chairman since May, has announced that her chosen charity is @ajs_legacy on behalf of the Anthony Nolan Trust, raising awareness of the importance of stem cell research and donation. This is a charity that is close to the Chairman’s heart and to many other local residents and pays tribute to a local young man, Alex, who lost his life to blood cancer in March. A brave and courageous civic and community minded person who fought hard to beat his illness.

Alex’s wife, Jemma, and Dino, his close friend, joined the Chair and Consort at a reception to kick off a year of fundraising. Almost £400 was raised on the evening. New community club planned

Plans are being developed for a new club for local people, to be part of the family of groups in Arundel supporting the Town, its activities and projects throughout the year.

This is a strong organisation and calls on broad experience with wide links locally, across our area and beyond. If you would like to be a part of the team, please contact Gerald Illsley at geraldillsley@gmail.com
