The trust supports local groups and organisations to deliver projects and sessions in the Hollingdean neighbourhood as well as the local community centre.

The trustees are all volunteers and are mainly local residents, but not being a Hollingdean resident does not excluded you being able to become a trustee and support the wide range of wonderful projects and events in Hollingdean!

Become a trustee

There is currently space to become a trustee and become part of supporting your local neighbourhood. No previous experience is necessary, just a desire to support and have a say in local projects. The requirement of being a trustee involves attending meetings at the community centre on a bi-monthly basis were nibbles, a cuppa and a warm welcome awaits!

If this sounds like something that you would be interested in and you would like to have a bigger say in every day things going on, on your doorstep then please get in touch.
