The Apuldram Centre's services include a dedicated day centre offering “meaningful and enterprising daytime occupational activities such as: horticultural, both on and off site; woodwork; cookery and arts and crafts”. They also support a number of people in the Chichester area to live independently in their own tenancies -- and run a community outreach service, Hub Club, three times a week in central Chichester.

Rocks boss Jack said: "It was lovely to be able to enjoy a win and to see smiles on the faces of the supporters and, of course, our very welcome guests from the Apuldram Centre. We look forward to seeing them at matches in the future and we very much value their support. We hope that as a club we can deliver performances worthy of carrying their logo on our shirts and we look forward to promoting their fantastic work throughout the season.

"We would also like to thanks the Lawsons, Gordon and Louise, for their generosity and continued support for the club.”
