Do you want to support the Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project, but can’t really, or don’t really want to be on site getting your hands dirty? If the answer is yes, and you have fund raising ideas or experience please drop us a message andy@littlehamptonfort.co.uk
We have to self generate our funds to work and operate as a charity, and desperately need to raise funds to enable us to continue with our good work, down on the Fort. All ideas and suggestions welcome and much appreciated.
We’re still working hard to get the site ready for its live launch. It may be that when we first launch the site there are some pages which are missing content etc. This should only be for the first few days of going live – sorry to say that this can’t be helped as we’re trying to move huge (with a capital H) amount of information, and we need to ensure that it has all been moved successfully and without incidence – I won’t bore you with the technical details, but lets just say that the technology is having a sulk in the corner.
What I will do is let you know when everything is up and running.
EDIT: The site is now up and running. We’re still in the process of adding some content from the old site.
This is a story about what we have been doing at the Fort, in the Community, and in the newspapers over the years!
There are some fantastic people featured in this video, and we would welcome them back as we move to get back on the Fort and commence work once again!
If you have previously been a Fort Volunteer and want to come back and help us once again, please drop me an email, I would love to work with you again.
LFRP are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Charlie Caney as the new Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project Secretary
Like Jeff, I also discovered the fort quite by accident when I was looking into the history of another local ruin.
Knowing something of the history of the 19th century, and the Anglo-French relationship, I was then keen to learn more about the fort. Especially since I had lived in the nearby area for several years but had never been aware that this old fort was on my doorstep. This all led me to Andy and then to this project to restore the fort to its former glory.
I’ve always been very interested in history and the conservation of heritage assets. I think knowing more about the lives of those who came before us and the history of what happened in the area where we live can enrich our everyday experiences. Anything we can do to support the preservation of our heritage, particularly if it can be ultimately self-financing, is worthwhile.
As for me, I have been a solicitor for nearly 25 years. I specialise in dealing with problematic situations, mainly in the financial sector, but also among businesses more generally. I now work in a Regulator advising on the conduct of legal actions and previously I worked for an investment bank and before that in a law firm in London.
