This is the 2nd Big City Sleepout!
While we are all warm and with our families this Christmas please spare a thought for the young homeless.
We are looking to raise awareness and much needed funds for The Clock Tower Sanctuary again this year.
It would be fantastic if you could join us for the Sleepout, tents are permitted. If not all donations are greatly appreciated.
By supporting the work of The Clock Tower Sanctuary, you will be helping to change the lives of people just like Josh, 23 who first arrived at our day-centre with only a rucksack on his back, having slept rough on Brighton beach for the previous few nights. Joshs upbringing was chaotic and over time his home environment deteriorated to the point he could no longer stay. Josh visited our day centre daily, working with a volunteer case worker. He was provided with a mobile phone, so he was contactable, we helped him with benefit issues, supported him at housing meetings and with building his CV. With this guidance, Josh was able to find a job at a local community kitchen and with this steady employment, could secure a room at a new housing trust.
I feel like Ive found a career I can now train in, rather than moving between cash in hand jobs. The Clock Tower Sanctuary believed in me and that feeling is priceless.
Josh, 23 years old
