I'm celebrating my 50th Birthday this year and I am wanting to support three local charities close to my heart; Justlife, Chomp, Street Pastoring. I am welcoming my friends and family to make a positive difference to someone's life by donating a gift to support these charities.

Here's a little information about each charity...

Justlife supports people living close to the streets, in either unsupported temporary or emergency accommodation. Their aim is to make people's experience of housing vulnerability as short, safe and healthy as possible. Justlife is in existence because they know that every time they don't act another person living in unsupported temporary accommodation suffers. They often suffer with deteriorating mental and physical health, become victims of crime, lose control of their own life, drop off the bottom rung of the housing ladder or die prematurely.

Chomp is a school holiday lunch club for families feeling financial pressure during the school holidays. They provide a free nutritious meal, games and crafts at One Church, Gloucester Place. For more information go to http://onechurchbrighton.org/what-we-do/chomp

Street Pastors Brighton are trained volunteers from local churches who care about their community. They patrol in teams of men and women, usually from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. on a Friday and Saturday night, to care for, listen to and help people who are out on the streets. Concerned for society and their local community; willing to engage with people, whatever their perspective on life and wherever they hang out; happy to work in a team and in collaboration with other agencies and projects, both statutory and voluntary.
