The Parish of Funtington includes the villages of Funtington, East and West Ashling and West Stoke together with North Hambrook and North Fishbourne. As well as the four main villages, mention should be made of a hamlet to the north of Funtington Villlage - Adsdean - with gardens and parkland created between 1840 and 1880.

Funtington Parish Council works to serve the local community to make the Parish a better place for its residents. The Councillors, who are all volunteers, make every effort to represent the views of the parishioners and, where possible, aim to make a difference by influencing local decision-making.
