We’re hosting a Charity Open Day at Sussex Innovation and welcoming 30–40 local charities, Community Interest Companies and non-profits from across Sussex — all doing incredible work in our communities.

We’d love University of Sussex staff and students to join us for the lunchtime networking session (1:00–2:00pm) to:

• Meet local charities and community organisations
• Explore volunteering, placement and collaboration opportunities
• Discover how your skills or research could support real social impact
• Find out more about the work happening just beyond campus

Charities attending will be running stands and informal tables during lunch — it’s a relaxed and friendly space to make connections, share ideas and chat over food.

If you’d like to come along for lunch or host a stand to promote your own volunteering, research or community project, please get in touch with Alice from Sussex Innovation at: Alice.beeby@sussexinnovation.co.uk.

Spaces for stands are limited, so please get in touch soon if you’d like to take part.
