Selsey Coastal Trust* is a working project, which is looking at how Selsey’s community can shape the long-term future of the town. Over the course of the initial project (Dec 2009 –April 2011) we were testing the feasibility of our ideas and looking at potential regeneration projects that could be progressed in the future, to enhance and benefit Selsey and support the Trust’s activities.
During the initial project we were hosted by Chichester District Council and funded by DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) under their Coastal Change Pathfinder project. The concept also had the support of Selsey Town Council. During July 2011 we moved to a fully incorporated Trust and are emerging as an independent, not-for-profit, community-led body. We will, in the future, apply for Charity Status.
The outcomes of the feasibility work were used not only to decide what form the Selsey Coastal Trust would take but may also be used by the Government as a template for other Coastal communities to take ownership of their coastline and future.
