The Community House is for the community. We offer a pop-up foodbank every morning from Monday to Friday at 9.30am. We are also able to offer activities and support. All activities are free of charge. We can help with job searching and employment skills, universal credit claims and other benefit advice. We have a computer suite with printing facilities. In addition to this, we provide community activities such as mindfulness, walking group, cooking sessions and painting and craft sessions. We also have access to a counsellor and hypnotherapist.

Hello, We are a registered charity and part of SHOUT WSK which stands for Street Homeless Outreach Worthing Soup Kitchen. We have been working in the Worthing area for over 8 years with both the homeless community and those in need. This year (2021) in April we started to work from the Lovett Centre in Maybridge Square as a pop up Food Bank in order to reach people and families who had been socially excluded and isolated due to Covid - 19. Many were afraid to go out in their community - our pop up food bank gave them a reason to go outside and start to slowly reintegrate within society. The group which has benefited the most from this approach has been our young Mums and families - the change has been dramatic and life altering for some. Our clients now look forward to Saturdays. There is a playground next door which many of the children who attend visit as well as meeting up with their new found friends. Many other problems have come to light which we have been able to assist with. From acquiring fridge/freezers to furniture, bedding clothes and help with benefits. Our Saturdays have become a point of contact for those in the local area. We have built up trust in what is often a difficult community to reach. This year alone we have run not just the pop up food bank but also a uniform shop and our next venture is a Halloween party for all of the families we support. This will be followed by Christmas Hampers throughout the month of December. Our work is ongoing. We have built connections with Community House and Worthing Homes and are continuing to act as a gateway to this community in Worthing. We are here to help and may always be contacted via our website below or facebook pages.

St Peter and St Paul Pantry provides free food and household essentials to local housholds who are experiencing financial hardship. Our aim is to offer practical support to those who are struggling with the rising cost of living, low income, unexpected expenses, illness, loss of employment or other difficult circumstances. The Pantry operates from St Peter and St Paul Church Hall in Rustington every Wednesday, with opening times varying each week. We welcome an average of 70 to 80 households each week, providing food and essential items in a friendly and supportive environment. In addition, we run a weekly Pantry at Georgian Gardens Community Primary School during term time, supporting around 25 households each week. This helps us reach families who may benefit from additional support within the local community. People hear about the Pantry through word of mouth, local schools, churches, community organisations, social media and recommendations from friends and neighbours. We welcome anyone who is experiencing genuine financial difficulties and needs help with food and household essentials. The Pantry relies entirely on the generosity of our parishioners, local businesses and financial donors. Donations of food, household goods and money enable us to continue supporting more than 100 local households each week across our two Pantry locations. We are particularly grateful to COOK Rustington, Establo Lounge Rustington, Specsavers Rustington, Sainsbury's Rustington, Sainsbury's Littlehampton and Morrisons Littlehampton, whose support plays an important role in helping us meet the needs of our community. Our simple aim is to ensure that local people facing financial hardship have access to food and essential household items when they need them most.
