Over the years, the generosity of Charitable Trusts and Foundations has played a pivotal role in helping us to shape and deliver our services.

With over 30 services on offer, we always have a wide range of different activities, items and services in need of funding. Whatever the value, each gift is so important and means we can continue offering and developing our life-changing services to people living within Worthing and the surrounding areas.

Some recent examples of the support we have received form Charitable Trusts and Foundations include:

• £1,000 from the W G Edwards Charitable Foundation to fund reminiscence software in our centres for older people
• £3,000 from the Richard Radcliffe Trust, supporting our day services for adults with learning disabilities and other complex needs
• £5,000 from the Three Oaks Trust towards our Time out for Carers service
• £10,500 from Ernest Kleinwort for our Ashdown Centre, supporting children and young people with learning disabilities and other complex needs
• £12,500 from the Childwick Trust to fund eight weeks of free, bookable respite care for people living with dementia
• £42,000 from the Valerie Emily Munday Day Centre Trust towards a new wheelchair accessible minibus for our day centre for older people
• £440,000 of National Lottery funding from the Big Lottery Fund to re-develop part of Guild Care's headquarters, which will help in delivering new vital community lifeline services
