Hastings Voluntary Action and Safe Families are working in partnership to better inform church leaders in Hastings and St Leonards about the range of community projects and networks that HVA are involved in that may be of interest to you in your work.
In particular we are keen to draw attention to the Hastings Food Network funded by Public Health which focuses on issues related to food security including providing emergency food access for those in need, supporting the development of new and and existing community food projects including food banks and social supermarkets, providing cookery and food education workshops and supporting initiatives aimed at bringing people together to share food and better connect to their community.
We would like to invite you to join us at Central Hall in Hastings town centre for a free light lunch on Tuesday 16th September from 12-1.30 where you can gather information, ask questions and chat to us about any ideas you might have that could link to our work.

Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to comment on the draft strategy.
Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
