Helping hand needed for two Angmering groups
Firstly, the Angmering Youth Forum is looking for a bus driver to operate its double-decker, mobile youth club.
The bus was purchased and developed by a team of volunteers a few years ago and has gone from strength to strength ever since.

The forum’s main aim is to help inspire children to achieve better things, learn essential life skills and keep them away from anti-social behaviour.
The volunteer would become part of this group and would help to drive the bus across the area.
The second opportunity in the village is as a drop-in café assistant at the Angmering Community Centre, in Foxwood Avenue.

It runs a range of activities and hosts a number of community groups.
The volunteer café assistant would help to keep stomachs full and thirsts quenched for centre users.
Ideally, someone is needed to cover Wednesday mornings. But any time that people can spare would be appreciated.
