Eastbourne Cultural Communities Network (ECCN), emerged from a partnership involving Eastbourne's Association of Voluntary Services (EAVS), Eastbourne Borough Council, Terrence Higgins Trust and 'Women In Action'. Now three years on, it has grown into a vibrant stand-alone multi-cultural network; representing many different ethnicities and cultural groups. ECCN receives funding from Altogether Eastbourne; the inclusive community sub-group of the Eastbourne Strategic Partnership (ESP).
