I took part in this event last year and as this is such a worthy cause I am signing up again! Read on to find out more ...

The Clock Tower Sanctuary is the only day centre in Brighton & Hove for 16-25 year olds who are experiencing homelessness. We provide a stable space where vulnerable young people in crisis feel safe and get the support they need.

"If it weren’t for you guys, a lot of us would have given up”. Ben, client, aged 25.

We support 120 young people per year, providing:

1) Crisis Support Services - access to food, showers, laundry, computers, postal service.

2) Building Trust, Confidence & Self-Esteem – activities such as yoga, creative workshops and financial literacy. Building relationships with staff and volunteers at this stage is key in helping young people to become unstuck, to unlock their potential and prevent further decline.

3) Towards Stability – staff and volunteers work with young people to access accommodation and employment through focused 121 caseworking.

We want Brighton & Hove to be a city where young people’s experience of homelessness is rare, brief and non-recurring.
