Help us to help those who have little or nothing to get what they need, whether that be furniture, food, advice, company or skills-building and a Safe Space.
Grandad's Front Room is a place where ALL the Community can come together with the aim of building a more cohesive, understanding, safe and caring Community in Bognor Regis and beyond. We offer a safe, welcoming drop-in lounge where anyone can grab a free cuppa, a biscuit and have a sit-down for as long as they like. We also source and deliver FREE furniture, beds, lounge furniture, white goods, pots and pans, cutlery, curtains and indeed anything that is needed to create a home. We've also just started a Men's Shed which is open to women and the youth of the area where ALL can come together and learn new skills such as woodwork and repairing of household items, as well as socialising and sharing in a warm, supportive environment. The Front Room donates free food to families in need and we are, funds willing, arranging a Community Allotment which will involve growing, nourishing food and providing cooking classes for the whole family.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Community is at the very centre of every happy and safe town. The more we come together, listen and understand each other the happier, more compassionate and resilient we will be. Equality and fairness matter hugely to the Grandadders, and all our profits and resources go to providing those with nothing or little with what many take for granted such as beds, cookers, fridges and even food and clothes. We're passionate about bringing positive change and hope to the hopeless. We provide a space where men, including veterans, can come together in a safe, shared space to work on DIY and commissioned projects and to assist each other in opening up and communicating more. This space is also available to women and the youth of the area so that skills can be truly shared across the Community. Our aim is to enable individuals, families and groups in our Community to be empowered to live their best life, and inspired to help others in the same way we have helped them.
Steps to get it done:
When it comes to measures of poverty the 2015 Indices of Deprivation show that in most areas across Bognor Regis the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation related to low income exceeds the national average of 14.5% and far exceeds the West Sussex average of 9.7% with the proportions in Pevensey at 19.5%, Marine 18.5%, Orchard 16.5%, Hotham 15.3% and Bersted 14.4%.

It seems that despite being told that the fundraiser was a success it is now showing that we only raised £9160 of £9196 which equates to 99% funded. I am at a loss as to why this has happened. I shall make enquiries at SpaceHive and West Sussex County Council and let you know what is happening. I just hope all is ok and that this is just another glitch as hopes and funds have been raised and I am at the moment feeling that I have let you all down. Fingers crossed
