Welcome to Launchpad!
Welcome to Launchpad!
Launchpad's mission is to help young people and businesses make the best possible start in life. There are some great charities already doing this - but we wanted to create a new "joined up approach" to try to achieve even more.
Our core site is based on the edge of the South Downs National Park, just a few miles from the sea. We're 2 miles north of Chichester, with a 15 minute cycle ride into town via the 'Centurian's Way' footpath and cycle track. We've got accommodation, offices, workshops, acres of space, sporting facilities and... lots of gadgets.

For Businesses
