We work with some fantastic
PARTNERS

HERITAGE LOTTERY FUNDING

The Heritage Lottery Fund enables us to run The Last Fisherman Standing. We are extremely grateful for their support, which will make a real difference for our fisheries heritage here in Worthing. Thanks to National Lottery players, the Heritage Lottery Fund invests money to help people across the UK explore, enjoy and protect the heritage they care about – from the archaeology under our feet to the historic parks and buildings we love, from precious memories and collections to rare wildlife.

PROTO RESTAURANT GROUP

We cannot thank Andy Sparsis and the team at Proto and the Fish Factory enough for their continued support of our projects and various fisheries ventures here in Worthing. From the very beginning of our fish box scheme Catchbox a few years back to The Last Fisherman Standing, they have been an absolutely vital supporter and enabler for us – you will see many more joint elements of this project as they unfold towards the summer of 2018.
