Petworth Vision has announced its commitment to renew its sponsorship for the Be the Change programme, directed towards students in year nine across Sussex schools who face challenges and difficulties.

Following the success of the programme in February 2019, Chairman, Nicola Jones, said that Petworth Vision has been 'so inspired' by the motivational teaching for the students, focusing on hope, confidence, happiness and employability.

She said: “Developing opportunities and unearthing hidden talents amongst the community’s younger members is a key pillar of the mission statement of a Petworth Vision."
