We were founded in 2014 to work across Mid Sussex to bring together and help local voluntary organisations and community groups. We have evolved as a charity through various iterations, locations and name changes. Today, we are Community People.
We are a charity on a mission to support the VCSE sector to grow and thrive for the benefit of the whole community. Quite simply, we are a charity that connects people and communities. Businesses too.
We work across Mid Sussex and with partners across West Sussex. Our main office is at The Cherry Tree Centre in Burgess Hill. This is a well-loved and used community centre that we manage.
Strong and connected people and communities.
To champion the role of community organisations and the people who power them.
Our Values:
We are a member of West Sussex Infrastructure Alliance, now called West Sussex Links. We give support, development and infrastructure services to voluntary and community groups across West Sussex. Between us, we support around 1,500 organisations, encouraging and supporting volunteers who contribute to a thriving voluntary community sector. We work collaboratively as partners to benefit our communities and our members, and we have a shared vision for the future.
