Hastings Borough Council is looking for volunteers to sit on its Grants Advisory Panel. This gives advice to the Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Trust, of which the Council is Trustee, on how surplus income from the Foreshore Trust should be distributed.

Cllr Trevor Webb, who chairs the Charity Committee, explains: “As a charity, the Foreshore Trust wants to help the local community, and giving grants to local groups is one way we can do this.

“We are looking for more volunteers to join our existing panel. The panel meets around four times a year, and other meetings may be called as and when necessary. We are particularly looking for people with a knowledge of the local voluntary and charitable sector.”

• Anyone interested should contact the Chief Legal Officer Mary Kilner at
