The Clock Tower Sanctuary is the only drop-in day centre for young people aged 16 - 25 experiencing homelessness. Based in central Brighton, it's a place where young people without a permanent roof over their heads can feel safe, receive practical and emotional support - everything from a healthy meal, a shower, laundry facilities and tailored one to one case working.
By signing up for our hike you'll be helping people like Sasha,
Sasha, 20 (she/her) was sofa surfing for two years whilst studying art at college, hoping to receive a diploma next year.
She has been actively engaging with her CTS caseworker, supporting and empowering Sasha to be more assertive. As a result of these case working sessions, Sasha has now moved into supported accommodation and is no longer sofa surfing, allowing her to focus on her education and her future.
She says,
“CTS has helped me in lots of different ways, like in ways I couldn’t really find anywhere else, like free food, a washing machine, things like that are really helpful. I think also emotionally as well. I think the best part is like not feeling so alone, that there are people out there that sort of understand. Homelessness feels quite endless sometimes. You feel like you’re just sort of trapped. The staff, and the other young people that come here, but especially the staff I think were really nice.”
