Storrington & Sullington Neighbourhood Wardens

Now that the ‘Our Village’ project is in full flow, we would like to thank all the local businesses that are participating in the scheme. This is a scheme that protects the vulnerable should they feel the need for assistance in our village. We have had an extremely positive response from our residents and we have extended the scheme with other businesses keen to join. Look out for our sticker in participating shop windows. We are currently in discussions with Gordon Hay, the Manager of Impulse Leisure Centre, and our Parish Council to arrange sporting activities in the school half term and end of term holidays throughout the school year. These activities will be available for all ages. There is also an exciting new initiative of a boxing club for youngsters (details to be confirmed). ‘Dad La Soul’ is an exciting and innovative scheme that supports single fathers. The scheme utilises the arts, music, technology and play to allow single fathers to interact with their children and to socialise with those in a similar position. They will be meeting at the Impulse Leisure Centre on Saturday 29th February from 11:00 -13:00 and we will be there to offer our support with a view to making this initiative a regular event in Storrington. www.totrockinbeats.com/dad-la-soul

Do you wish to become part of a team of Storrington’s most skilled and caring crafts people? We are in the early stages of creating an initiative that will require your skills. Fans of the BBC TV show ‘The Repair Shop’ will understand the concept. The idea is to rescue and resurrect items that owners thought were beyond saving. Please let us know if you wish to become part of this initiative with your skill-set so we can collate an ‘experts’ list.

We are extending our meet and greet surgeries to two a month to be held at the Library in Storrington. If you have any concerns or would like to ask any questions, (within reason!) we will endeavour to answer. The February dates are Tuesday 11th and Tuesday 25th February, 11:00pm –12:00pm.
