Chaplaincy in South Downs gets much-needed refurbishment

April 22, 2024

A critical site for helping vulnerable people has been improved after £92,000 of CIL funding.

The Beachy Head Chaplaincy has been significantly modernised and given a makeover, giving the police, chaplaincy and coastguard a much-improved base to carry out their work.

Electric vehicle charging points for partner agency vehicles have also been installed to reduce the building’s carbon footprint.

Nikki Allen, CIL Planning Officer, said: “The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team have responded to over 15,000 incidents in the past 20 years and it’s important they have a base that’s fit for purpose.

“This has been such a worthwhile use of CIL funding for this dedicated, hard-working team that help save many lives.”
