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.
The Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project is thrilled to announce the newest addition to its management team, Stuart Horne. Stuart’s appointment marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to preserve and restore the historic Littlehampton Fort, further solidifying the link between the project and the landowners, Littlehampton Golf Club. This partnership paves the way for a collaborative approach that will be instrumental in safeguarding this important piece of local heritage.
Stuart is the Director of Marketing / Communication at
Littlehampton Golf Club, bringing a wealth of experience and a
passion for this historical structure, making him an invaluable
asset to the team. His role will be crucial in facilitating the
cooperation between the Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project and Littlehampton Golf Club, ensuring that both entities work in harmony to achieve the shared goal of restoring the fort to its former glory.
The connection between the Littlehampton Fort and Littlehampton Golf Club is one steeped in history. The fort, a crucial coastal defence during the 19th century, is located on land owned by the golf club. The collaboration with the club is therefore vital to the project’s success, as it
provides not only the necessary access but also a shared commitment to preserving the local history.
Chairman of the Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project, Andy Orpin, warmly welcomed Stuart to the team, expressing his enthusiasm for the future of the project.
“We are delighted to have Stuart Horne join our management team” he said. “His expertise, dedication and commitment to working with this historical piece history will be key as we continue our work on the fort. We look forward to working closely with him to ensure that the Littlehampton Fort is saved for future generations.”
Stuart’s joining the management team represents more than just an expansion of the project’s leadership; it symbolises the strengthening of ties between the restoration project and the golf club. This partnership will enable both parties to pool resources and expertise, creating a robust foundation for the project’s future success.
As the project moves forward, the collaborative efforts led by Stuart Horne and the existing management team will be critical in overcoming the challenges associated with the fort’s restoration. The team is committed to preserving the fort’s historical significance, ensuring it
remains a testament to the region’s rich military history.
The Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project invites the community to join in welcoming Stuart Horne to the team and looks forward to the positive impact his leadership will bring. Together, with the support of the Littlehampton Golf Club and the wider community, the project is confident that the fort will be restored and preserved for future generations to explore and enjoy.
