About The Company
Guild Care, a not-for-profit charity established in Worthing in 1933, was founded by a group of visionary volunteers, including Effie Methold, E.A. Haviland, Arthur Linfield, and Frank Cave. Their shared mission was to create a kinder, more compassionate society, leading to the creation of the 'Worthing Council of Social Service,' which then became the 'Worthing Area Guild for Voluntary Service,' and is now known as Guild Care.
Over the decades, Guild Care has grown and evolved, continually adapting to meet the needs of Worthing and its surrounding communities. Today, the charity supports over 3,000 people and their families each year through a diverse portfolio of more than 30 community services.
As one of Worthing's largest employers, Guild Care is powered by the dedication of over 800 caring staff members and the invaluable support of more than 300 volunteers, all committed to making a meaningful difference in people's lives.
