A sea of poppies

-


 

Do you like poppies? Many people only ever see an artificial one (around Remembrance Day); however, we are lucky because at Goodwood there are plenty of the real things in full bloom. Other places to visit suggested by the regional press are Bramber (Knight’s Templar and castle) and West Wittering (no prizes for guessing why.)


CDC have launched Invest Chichester, their new inward investment campaign. As you will see, the campaign is seeking to attract those who are placing a greater importance on wellbeing and leisure time by showcasing our District’s rich culture and heritage, as well as its open spaces across the South Downs, Chichester Harbour and coastal towns.


CDC’s Chichester Wellbeing service is expanding the amount of short walks on offer with a new ‘walking with poles’ scheme aimed at beginners. They are celebrating 20 years of their HeartSmart volunteer-led walks. Don’t forget Relate Sussex if you, or someone you know, is feeling anxious, low or is struggling with relationships. They provide counselling for individuals, couples, families and young people, as well as psychosexual therapy.


These are difficult times and we are on record as welcoming financial assistance for local businesses and for residents experiencing financial hardship. We are therefore glad that CDC have just announced further support which could see eligible residents receiving up to £150 credited to their council tax bill. 


CDC have also secured further funding for rough sleepers - if you know someone over 18 in that position this site may prove helpful. They also have free grants of up to £10,000 to make residents warmer this winter.


The Novium museum has just received a grant of £32,923 to expand virtual field trips. It is one of only 14 across the UK to benefit from The Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund, which was developed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.


And finally: -


As always, from the whole team, stay safe
