TTW Receive Funds From National Lottery!

by
Great news! The National Lottery “Together For Sustainable Community Climate Action” has awarded TTW with £10,000 to help our community to take practical climate action. Huge thanks to National Lottery players for helping to make this possible.

This will specifically take the form of a digital and physical sustainability map of Worthing as well as workshops and talks to help enable our community to access information about local projects, businesses, community groups and experts that are currently leading the way, or beginning to take steps, to becoming more sustainable and reducing their carbon footprint. By making this info a lot more accessible, this in turn can help inspire others, when they see it’s actually possible for everyone to help in some way.

Once we have created an outline of what we have included in the map, and what we might like to also include, we will post on here ways in which you might be able to help provide additional information, so watch this space….

This very welcome support comes at a time when a group of us are trying to get a climate emergency centre/community hub off the ground. If you haven’t already done so, please could you complete the survey.

Thank You Co-Op Members!

by
A huge thank you to all Co-op members who nominated us as their Local Community Cause.
On Friday 19th Nov, we were invited by the Plaza Parade store manager, Stuart Hunt and town crier, Bob Smytherman, a member pioneer for the Co-op to receive a donation of £6178!

We used the money to pay for our wonderful website (and its ongoing running costs) and to help keep us afloat for the past very difficult 18 months, as all our sources of income dried up due to Covid restrictions. Without this support, we most probably would not have survived.
