Introduction
Love Worthing Work Perks is a local employee benefits scheme that helps people working in Worthing get more from their pay without costing employers a penny.
Designed with Worthing in mind, the scheme gives employees access to exclusive discounts and VIP style experiences at businesses across the town. From everyday savings to special offers and priority perks, it feels like a pay rise without any additional salary cost for employers.
Employees can save money on food and drink, shopping, leisure, health, and services, all while discovering and supporting local businesses. Alongside discounts, the scheme also unlocks VIP experiences inspired by models like O2 Rewards, including early access offers, limited promotions, and special treats that are only available to members. Love Worthing Work Perks is powered entirely by participating Worthing BID businesses, keeping spending local and strengthening the town centre economy. Employers simply sign up, promote the scheme to their teams, and enjoy improved staff satisfaction, retention, and wellbeing with no financial outlay.
It is a simple, high value way to reward staff, support local businesses, and show genuine love for Worthing.

Direct access to the office based workforce
The scheme gives businesses a direct line to thousands of office based workers who are often overlooked by traditional town centre marketing. This includes staff from the local council, hospital, schools, colleges, and large employers who may not regularly visit the town centre during the working day.
By offering targeted discounts and experiences, businesses can encourage lunchtime visits, after work spend, and repeat custom from a reliable weekday audience.
Driving footfall at quieter times
Work Perks offers can be designed around off peak hours such as weekday lunches, midweek evenings, or quieter mornings. This helps smooth trading patterns and brings customers through the door when businesses need them most, without discounting during peak periods.
Building loyalty not one off deals
Unlike mass discount platforms, Love Worthing Work Perks focuses on repeat visits and relationship building. Employees who work locally become regular customers, not just bargain hunters. VIP style experiences help businesses build emotional loyalty and word of mouth recommendations.
Love Worthing Work Perks is not just an employee benefit. It is a practical tool that helps Worthing businesses reach new customers, fill quieter trading periods, and build long term loyalty with people who work locally.
Keeping spend local
All offers are delivered by local Worthing BID businesses, meaning money stays within the local economy. Businesses benefit from collective promotion under the Love Worthing brand rather than competing individually for attention.
Low cost low effort marketing
There is no requirement for businesses to fund discounts upfront. Offers are flexible and can be changed seasonally. Promotion is handled through the BID and employer networks, giving businesses visibility they would not achieve alone.
Reaching trusted institutions and large employers
The scheme opens doors to large local employers including councils, hospitals, schools, and education providers. These organisations employ thousands of people who value simple rewards, wellbeing support, and local convenience. Being part of Work Perks positions businesses as supportive of key workers and public sector staff.
Positive brand association
Businesses involved are seen as backing local workers and community wellbeing. This strengthens reputation, supports recruitment in sectors with staffing challenges, and aligns businesses with a positive town wide initiative.
