The Friends of Pagham Harbour

Friends of Pagham Harbour

The ‘Friends of Pagham Harbour’ (FoPH) is a Registered Charity (no.1000136). It was formed in 1974 to increase public awareness of all matters relating to the Nature Reserve and to assist in the conservation of wildlife and habitat.


This is done by means of subscriptions and fund-raising but also in more practical ways; for example Friends fulfil important roles by acting as voluntary stewards at the Visitor Centre, by assisting the Reserve Wardens to run events and workshops, and by supporting educational visits and work parties throughout the year. They also take part in surveys, monitoring the many species that occur at the Reserve.


Could you offer your support in any way? To join, see the membership application form on this website. Send the form with appropriate fee to:- The Membership Secretary, Friends of Pagham Harbour, Visitor Centre, Selsey Road, Sidlesham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 7NE.

Web Site

The project to develop this site is under way. This phase of the redevelopment adds content and brings the site up to date with the latest web compliant standards.

Over the coming months we will be adding more content so we can tell you more of our current activities and tell you what is happening at Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve.

We would be pleased to have your comments on the developing web site and if you do you have something to say about the Reserve that may be of interest to others, please tell us. Contact here
