Services

We are a one-stop advice service supporting people in Midhurst and the 15 surrounding parishes, including Easebourne, Stedham, Rogate, Harting and Fernhurst.

Our work focuses on three key areas:

Personal advice and support
We help people navigate complex challenges by offering practical advice, guidance, and ongoing support tailored to their individual needs.

Bringing the community together
We organise Community Forums that connect local organisations, groups, and services—helping everyone work more effectively together to support our community.

Coordinating local projects
We lead and support projects that respond to specific local needs, such as tackling loneliness and isolation, and improving wellbeing across our area.

“Enabling independence - Building community”

Advisory Service

We offer practical advice and personalised support to help people through difficult and often complex situations.

As well as providing direct support, we connect you with a wide range of trusted partner organisations across the public and charity sectors. But we don’t just point you in the right direction—we work alongside you, helping to arrange appointments with specialist advisers, either at our centre or somewhere that suits you.

We can support you with a range of challenges, including:

Financial support
Debt, benefits, and managing money

Cost of living
Food and energy poverty, rising household costs, Foodbank referrals

Housing
Rent issues, property concerns, and homelessness

Health and wellbeing
Mental health, depression, and bereavement support

Family and relationships
Caring responsibilities, relationship breakdown, and childcare

Addiction
Support with gambling, alcohol, or drug-related issues

Employment
Building skills, finding job opportunities, and help with applications

Transport
Access to essential services such as Jobcentre appointments and healthcare

Community Forums

We are called a Hub because we connect people with the right support through a network of trusted local organisations—our “spokes”. While we may not always have the answer to every challenge, we know who does. By working closely with specialist charities, public services, and community organisations, we can help people access the expert advice and support they need.

Twice a year we bring together the Midhurst Community Forum, a network of local charities, public authorities, businesses, funders, churches, and other community partners working to support the people of Midhurst and the surrounding area.

These meetings provide an opportunity to:

  • Share knowledge about the services available locally

  • Understand the challenges facing our community

  • Identify gaps in support

  • Work together to develop practical solutions

The Forum also helps guide the Hub’s projects by highlighting areas of greatest need and opportunities to make a positive difference.
