The First Companions club was inaugurated in 1956 as an offshoot to the Rotary club. The Littlehampton Club was formed in 1961. How does Companionship work?
It works in many ways
Littlehampton Companions Club is open to any person who would like to join a Group of like minded people in order to enjoy themselves and to play a part in helping organisations and individuals in the local community.
Helping the Community The Littlehampton Companions tries to help any individual who may not get all the support they need from the statutory bodies or any other organisations. We give small grants to any individual or small group for a variety of projects or needs. Examples of people that we have helped in the past is giving an elderly lady the means to buy a new cooker and help funding young people for a camp or outing. There are many others too numerous to mention. If anyone knows of anyone who would benefit then please contact the Charity Officer. Any enquiry will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Littlehampton Companions also annually recognises someone from the Littlehampton area for their outstanding contribution to the community.
Meetings The Club meets once a month for a business meeting where there is usually a speaker. There are also separate monthly dining evenings for the Men and Ladies. We also meet regularly for Social events such as Skittles and theme evenings.
