Wealden District

As the local Voluntary Action, we provide a wide range of development support to groups working across Wealden District – from Birling Gap, Polegate and Hailsham to Uckfield and Crowborough in the High Weald.

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.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the Wealden Community Network Meeting on 13th March

We were delighted to be able to join together to meet in person at the Victoria Pavilion in Uckfield and we are so grateful to everyone at Sussex Support Services who made that possible by kindly hosting the meeting.

Special thanks too to Kat Jenner and David Chennell from from Wealden District Council (WDC) who facilitated an insightful and valuable consultation workshop on proposed renewals to WDC’s leisure provision. We were also grateful to hear from Olena Lavrova from the Refugee Buddy Project, Dawn Rennie from Clarion Housing and Claire Webley and Darina Elliot from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund.

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.
