CHARITY What about volunteers? How important are they to The Starr Trust, and what sort of things do they do? Hugely important; we are always looking for volunteers and are so grateful for their help. Some of our volunteers come into the office and support us with administrative or technical skills, while others lend a hand at our fundraising events, which could be taking photos, serving food, being ushers - there’s always something that needs doing. An hour; a day a week; a month; or a year – whatever time people can spare is a massive help to us.

Back in January this year, along with Crest Nicholson, The Starr Trust was awarded the contract to redevelop the King Alfred site in Hove. Our partners at Crest Nicholson will deliver to the council a new leisure centre and will deliver to The Starr Trust new offices to relocate to as a new permanent home, plus some incredible community facilities that we can then use to support more young people and engage with the much wider community across the city. Going forward, we want to explore ways in which not-for-profit organisations, community groups and businesses can be involved in this exciting new project. Our long-term goal is to widen our reach and expand into more areas, so that we can help as many people as possible. 109
