Make Change Count is a citywide initiative that brings together key organisations (Brighton Housing Trust, St Mungo’s, Sussex Nightstop, Equinox, Antifreeze, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, YMCA Downslink Group and YMCA Brighton) that support homeless people in Brighton and Hove.
What a great way to start the year, with an incredibly generous donation from FABS – Fleet Alliance Benefits & Social team, who raised an incredible £1,250 for Sussex Nightstop.
2020-2021 has certainly been an interesting period in history to serve my inaugural year as Chair of Sussex Nightstop. The effects of the global pandemic, and its impact upon our ability to make Nightstop placements continued to be a key feature of the year requiring the flexibility, resilience and dedication of our volunteers, staff and trustees to see a way through.
To support people who are rough sleeping in Brighton & Hove, the city has a fundraising campaign called Make Change Count. It brings together local charities that are experienced in supporting rough sleepers and preventing homelessness. They work together to provide dignity and respect to vulnerable people who are living on the streets, homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Happy World Kindness Day to everyone and a huge thank you to our wonderful hosts and volunteers with such big hearts.
