Importance of community group shines through at open day
For more than 20 years, the West Durrington Phoenix Youth Group has been working in the Northbrook ward of Worthing to help support children and families in the area.
Children attending the club are split into three groups; Mini A’s for ages four-seven; Kids with Attitude for ages seven-12 and Chaos for children aged five-16 with special needs. Each group meets once-a-week and gets the opportunity to socialise, play games and learn new skills.

Hide AdChair of the youth group, Sue Ward said: “What we have found from running these groups is the number of parents that are now looking to us for support with parenting classes, with children that need food, we’ve had a couple of dads in prison, a couple of homeless families.
“We need to make this a hub because the volunteers we have can’t run the youth project and support every need in this area, and there are many.”
