Founders Donors Profiles & Quotes
Carpenter Box: “Our company celebrates 85 years as a Worthing business this year. The firm and its employees are passionate about Worthing and the surrounding area and raise thousands of pounds for local and national charities every year. The opportunity to contribute to and support the Worthing and Adur fund was therefore an easy decision and was the first donation from our own charity, the Carpenter Box Charitable Foundation. We’re proud to be the first corporate donor to the fund and want to encourage as many Worthing and Adur businesses to contribute too. That way we can reach the £25,000 target and attract the matched funding from government and build a lasting endowment for Worthing and Adur" Chris Coopey, DirectorPressleys: “ 'Pressleys' are delighted to become a founder donor of the Fund in this the 100th anniversary of our grandfather opening his first jewellery shop in Worthing. The family have a long tradition of active involvement in local charities, large and small, and we welcome the opportunity that will be provided by the Worthing and Adur Community Fund to assist small charities and community groups." Charles & Neville Pressley

Karen Simporis Henry House: “I’m passionate about this fund. In my work running Henry House Hydro Therapy Centre and my involvement with local arts and community groups, I come across so many projects that could do even more with some financial support. This fund could give volunteers and charities that vital leg-up both now and far into the future. That’s why I’m putting my money where my mouth is and becoming a founder donor.”
