The Thriving Together grant fund, launched by Adur and Worthing Councils, is open to groups, voluntary organisations and social enterprises working in either area that want to collaborate for community benefit.
It aims to support projects that build connections between communities, support residents during the cost-of-living crisis and help prevent problems from escalating.
Cllr Sharon Sluman, Adur’s cabinet member for communities and wellbeing, said: “I’m especially pleased that this model of grant funding will encourage groups to produce things that others can use to learn and grow – ultimately leaving a longer-term impact.
“Working together means groups will be able to share expertise and resources, help more people, and avoid duplication.”

Eligible expenses include activities, events, staff time, volunteer costs, training, venue hire, insurance and equipment.
Funded projects must also create something practical that others can use or repeat, such as physical resources, shared spaces or joint support models.
Between four and eight joint projects are expected to be funded in 2025/26, with a total pot of £60,000 split equally between Adur and Worthing.
Cllr Dom Ford, Worthing’s cabinet member for communities, culture, and leisure, said: “It’s rewarding to see the priorities identified by the community through Thriving Together now being applied to practical projects like this new grant.”
