Eastbourne Borough

As the local Voluntary Action, we provide a wide range of development support to groups working across Eastbourne.

Our focus is asset-based community development. We can work with you on a range of areas, including setting up a new group, choosing the right structure, identifying funding opportunities and applying for them, developing policies, managing projects and much more. We can also help you recruit and retain volunteers.

Eastbourne Online Community Network Meeting

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the Eastbourne Community Network Meeting on 5th March

Special thanks to Natasha Cummings from East Sussex County Council’s Financial Inclusion Team, Richard Watson and Sarah Quinn from NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board, and Eleanor Lanyon from Blue Heart, all of whom gave informative and valuable presentations to the meeting. Also, thank you to Councillor Stephen Holt, who joined the meeting to speak and answer questions about Local Government Devolution.

 ‘I have scored the meeting 10/10 in terms of usefulness. This was the first networking event I have attended, and I was very impressed with the rich content’.

What matters most to us at 3VA is that the Community Network Meetings are useful for everyone who attends them, and we love getting your feedback about them. We read and consider all feedback carefully whatever the views being expressed may be and please do feel free to send us your views at [email protected] These are Networks that belong to their members and we are continuously looking at ways to improve the meetings and welcome your suggestions.

Finally, we look forward to seeing you at the next Eastbourne Community Network meeting. These meetings are currently held quarterly, and we will advise of the date of the next one nearer the time. In the meantime, thank you for continuing to be a valued part of the Eastbourne Community Network.
