Arun and Chichester Citizens’ Advice has been awarded funding for a financial capability advisor to support disabled people, carers, refugees, and survivors of domestic abuse, to create a sustainable household budget.

Businesses in the creative and digital sector will receive dedicated support via West Sussex County Council which will deliver bespoke training and support to encourage growth in this part of the economy. Local business support will be delivered within the district, with the University of Chichester also able to expand its access courses to higher education for local people. Clean Growth UK has been funded to support businesses in preparation for net zero and supporting our growth in local green skills will see FE Sussex delivering on local training.

West Sussex County Council will be supported to assist young people in the district with the Think Future scheme and Tourism South East has been selected to deliver job training to boost opportunities for local people looking to work in the industry.

Councillor Shaun Gunner, leader of Arun District Council, said: “From Bognor Regis to Rustington, Littlehampton to Angmering, we are supporting real projects which will see real improvements in Arun. Whether it is money for skills or business support, support for residents’ finances and their careers, or new lighting, seating and planting and bike racks across Arun, we are funding projects that will make a real difference to residents.”
