16th August 2026 - Waterfront Festival Weekend

This weekend was the Waterfront Festival in Littlehampton. LFRP had a stall there providing information about our work restoring the Fort and the positive difference we are making for the Community.

Our lady Mayor also joined us (pictured), who took a keen interest in what we have been able to achieve and our plans for the future of the Fort.

We sold merchandise and made a total of £87, which will go towards the restoration work that we do.

Thanks to all our visitors and to the volunteers who ran the stall and a massive thank you to the Waterfront Festival for including us.

25th July 2026

Our Chairman and Project Manager Andy Orpin attended a lively and welcoming social event at the Salt House Pagham this evening.

It was a fantastic opportunity for networking and community engagement and Andy represented our organisation with enthusiasm. He made meaningful connections and enjoyed the evening’s hospitality. Andy has previously offered advice on restoration and fundraising at a recent VAAC meeting to Helen and Chris the current owners.

It was a lovely evening with fantastic hosts and fellow guests. Andy would like to thank Chris and Helen for the kind invitation.

🌟 A Fantastic Morning at the Chichester City Council Community Forum! 🌟

Today, our Chairman and Project Manager Andy Orpin had the pleasure of attending the Chichester City Council Community Forum on Good Practice in Volunteering, held from 10:00am – 12:30pm. The event was hosted in partnership with Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester and brought together community leaders, local councils, and voluntary groups for a morning full of insights and inspiration.

What Happened Today?

💬 Welcome & Introduction
The forum began with a warm welcome and important housekeeping notes by Charlotte Walker of Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester, setting the perfect tone for the day.

🏛️ Organisational Insights on Volunteer Management
We heard fantastic contributions from:
Lucy Elsey and Tallulah Hyde – National Trust, Petworth House
Suzy Downes – Community Transport Sussex
Each speaker shared how their organisations support and nurture volunteers, offering practical tips and innovative approaches.

🤝 The Volunteer Perspective
The highlight for us was Caroline Robinson’s session on Best Practice from a Volunteer Perspective. Her insights will be incredibly valuable as we continue to develop the volunteer experience at the Fort.

📣 Interactive & Networking Sessions
A lively 20-minute Q&A session gave attendees the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas.
The morning concluded with a full hour of Community Group Networking, where Andy shared updates on our restoration project and connected with other fantastic local groups.

A Big Thank You!
Andy extends his heartfelt thanks to the organisers for the invitation and for delivering such an engaging and informative forum. We can’t wait for the next session and to put these lessons into practice!

We were honoured to have our Chairman and Project Manager attend the prestigious “Mayor’s Thank You” reception, held at the New Millennium Chamber in the Littlehampton Town Council Manor House. The event took place in celebration of Mayor Alan Butcher, who will be stepping down from his role as Mayor of Littlehampton next week. This special reception was arranged to acknowledge and thank key individuals and organisations that have contributed to the town during his time in office.

The atmosphere at the Manor House was warm and welcoming, with guests including many familiar faces from the local community. Among those present were James Walsh, Claire Walsh, Chris Kovan, and of course, Mayor Alan Butcher himself. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with fellow community members and reflect on the positive impact of the Mayor’s tenure.

Our Chairman, Andy, expressed his gratitude to Mayor Butcher for the kind invitation and for hosting such a delightful event. The reception was a fitting tribute to the Mayor’s dedication and service to Littlehampton, and we wish him all the best as he steps down from his role.

We look forward to continuing to support the town and its initiatives, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to Mayor Butcher for his leadership and hospitality.
