West Sussex County Council have opportunities for volunteers at our Children and Family Centres and Youth Services across the local area eg administration, operating the toy library, assisting at Play and Learn sessions, Baby Rhyme Time groups, Youth services, Music and Movement groups

The time commitment is usually 2 to 3 hours per week/fortnight.  We offer access to free training and pay travel expenses.  References are required and a DBS (police check) will be obtained at no charge to volunteers).

To arrange an informal meeting to discuss our opportunities and what you are looking for, please email Julie Dutton (Julie.dutton@westsussex.gov.uk) or Maria Maloney (maria.maloney@westsussex.gov.uk)

We need to reach the national recycling target of 50% by 2020

Here in the Horsham District we currently recycle 44% of our waste. We are proud to say that this is highest in West Sussex. However we need to reach the national recycling target of 50% by 2020. With your help we know that we can.

Recent research has shown that 20% of what we currently throw away in our green-top (household waste) bins can be put into our blue-top recycling bin.

In total a staggering 57% of the waste that we currently throw away can be reduced, reused or recycled!

Please make sure your blue-top (recycling) bin only contains items that can be recycled and that the items are clean, dry, and loose.

Only recycling put inside your bin will be collected.  Please close the lid. Thank you.
