Community Partners

Community Supporters works across Rother to support those experiencing social or economic disadvantage by using nature and nature-based activities. By working with the community, we aim to address issues around isolation, mental and physical health, opportunities, youth and more. The organisation has recently been working with Warming Up the Homeless to source extra, or new, funding and to think about their impact on the environment in all aspects of their mission and community support role. This includes supporting the charity to write a comprehensive environmental policy, which will benefit both our local environment and the charity going forward.

Rother Voluntary Action (RVA) enables the voluntary sector to identify and appropriately meet unmet needs and gaps in service provision. RVA enhances the capacity of the voluntary and community sector by providing and promoting technical and practical support services. Along with encouraging networking and enabling the local community sector to share knowledge, information, and skills, RVA promotes liaison between the voluntary, public, and private sectors. Such liaison ensures effective and accountable representation of voluntary and community sector views and interests. Their work with Warming Up the Homeless, from the first steps of becoming a Registered Charity to governance and funding advice, has allowed for successful growth to help those in need.

Hastings Community Food Network is one of 30 regional partnerships in the Feeding Britain movement which aims to prevent hunger and eliminate its root causes. Among Feeding Britain’s programmes to meet immediate need are Healthy Holidays, Pathways From Poverty, Affordable Food Networks, and Fuel Banks. The evidence emerging from those programmes, on the root causes behind this need, has enabled Feeding Britain to develop workable policy recommendations which, over the past three years, have yielded an additional £2.5 billion in anti-poverty commitments from the Government.

Chiropodist/podiatry is the medical service that specialises in problems of the lower limb and foot. From musculoskeletal conditions ,skin pathologies, infections affecting the feet to corns/callous and painful problems that make walking and standing uncomfortably. Anybody can have difficulties with their feet at anytime, but if you are vulnerable, unable to care for yourself and are not able to wash daily and pop on clean socks and comfy shoes ….. feet can be the start of a chain reaction of medical problems for our homeless friends , which is why I volunteer to help WUTH.
