A massive thank you to the Ancient Order of Forresters for their amazing donation of £505.00
We receive no official funding so rely solely on grants and kind donations from local businesses, organisations & members of the community.
We are very grateful for any donation received and make sure every penny goes to making a difference to the most vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalised people in our local area.
Thank you 🙏

A correct message from Eastbourne Borough Council:

Don't give money to the homeless.

It may sound harsh but it's true.

The message is clear: giving money to people on the street can do more harm than good.

It might feel like the kindest thing to do at the time, but in many cases, it actually keeps people on the street.

To really make a positive difference, residents and visitors are encouraged to donate to a local homelessness charity.

This way you can be confident that anything you give will be used to improve the lives and opportunities of people experiencing homelessness.
