We need to create a community virtual space for both residents and visitors. This will be a community compiled directory of everything relevant to life in Adur, and provides a single space to search.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
All local businesses and organisations will be invited to contribute free of charge to the project, to share knowledge of everything Adur. This updates the "AccessAdur" directory created in 2013, and surplants the abortive "Disabled Go" commercial database. We propose to extend this so that Everything Adur will be available, and to support this with a stall at the Shoreham Centre Weekly market (Wednesday am) , which will use and distribute promotional information. Sponsorship opportunities will be available.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Adur is a great place to live. This community directory makes integration and access to resources much easier, and will provide answers to al lcommunity questions
Steps to get it done:
Adur District Council contributed to a Worthing tourism initiative run commercially by disabled go, but this was limited and did not involve the community, as this will. In any event, the old Access Adur is out of date due to lack of funding, and DisabledGo has not been contracted again so has taken down all that they did have.

VolunteerFreedom Powerchairs is a registered charity supporting the disabled. It started in 2012, taking over from an earlier Not-For-Profit, to provide local facilities to create, maintain and repair mobility aids not available elsewhere. The office is in Shoreham-By-Sea; the main workshop in now in Dominion Way West, Worthing, and a satellite in Bridge Road, Worthing. We provide engineering capacity not available elsewhere, and can undertake the build of any mobility aids especially bespoke powerchairs, but even small handheld aids, or anything else needed, especially broken small parts, using our new 3D printers. We also provide free assessments, signposting, help with grant applications and provide a take away service for unwanted mobilty equipment, even if electrical and dead. We will refubish these, or use for spares. We aim to solve the mobility problems which other can't, don't or won't. Additionally, we support our volunteers, several of whom have problems of their own.
