This year we are celebrating 90 years of expert support and care in Worthing! Guild Care support older people, people living with dementia and children and adults with learning disabilities. In celebration of our 90^th year, we are hosting a photography contest to commemorate and showcase the local community's history.

As a charity we believe that nobody should feel isolated. Through this competition, we aim to reduce social isolation experienced by people in our local community by inviting people of Worthing to take photos and share the story behind their photos. Our mission is to engage the people of Worthing and get people talking.

The contest is open to anyone who wants to showcase their great photos of local landmarks and people. We welcome both creative submissions as well as interesting stories about local people and places.

Enter for a chance to win a meal for 2 at The Parsonage on 22nd October, to celebrate the Great British Sunday Lunch!

Details about the event can be found here: Parsonage Events (theparsonage.co.uk)
