Winter Appeal
A little light in the dark
By donating to our Winter Appeal, you could give a young homeless person a Christmas meal in warmth and safety – and the support they need over the winter months. And you could also give them hope; and the chance of a better life next year when the pandemic recedes.
As the only drop-in day centre in Brighton & Hove specifically for 16-25 year-olds, young people experiencing homelessness know they can find a warm welcome and the practical support they need at The Clock Tower Sanctuary.
A gift of £18 could pay for a Christmas meal and a gift box for a young person to enjoy.
A donation of £48 could fund a case-work session for a young person where they can talk to someone who will listen, understand and help.
A pledge of £96 could fund a day with a Support Coordinator, giving a young person the practical support they need to start a better life in 2021.
A gift of £1,529 could fund The Clock Tower Sanctuary’s work for a whole day this winter.
Last year, we worked with 186 young people who had nowhere else to turn. As a small charity, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to keep our services running. You can see read about how your donation makes a difference to our clients on the Stories page.
No work party this year? No worries!
Why not donate the costs of your work party this year instead? Our #XmasPartyHeroes can help young people experiencing homelessness in Brighton & Hove. Find out all you need to know at xmaspartyheroes.co.uk and remember to tag us into your social media posts so we can say thanks!
Our Winter Wish list
By gifting through our Amazon Wish List you can help young people get the daily essentials they need like toiletries, warm clothes, socks, underwear and face masks as well as helping to keep our day centre stocked with cleaning materials, washing powder for the laundry and those all important hot drinks.
"I had been renting a flat but when I lost my job, I couldn’t afford to pay the rent. I have no family around, so I started sofa surfing with friends, but after a while I ran out of people to stay with and spent two weeks rough sleeping. It was really scary. I slept under bridges, in parks. But I didn’t really sleep, I couldn’t…I relied a lot on The Clock Tower Sanctuary for food and having somewhere you feel safe. When I had nowhere to go, I could come here and eat amazing food and have people to talk to. ”
