Story

Please support me take part in the Big City Sleepout on 9th December with whatever you can afford. I will sleep out on Brighton seafront to support the Clock Tower Sanctuary.

The Clock Tower Sanctuary inspires me and many other people across Sussex. It is the only drop-in day centre for 16-to-25 year olds experiencing homelessness in Brighton and Hove. It provides vital practical and emotional support so that young people can reach their potential and help break the cycle of homelessness.

Every young person deserves support to survive and thrive. I had a great deal of support as a teenager and as a young man. Without this support, life would have been much harder. I was fortunate. Many young people simply do not have the support they need. Winter is especially hard. We can help. Let's make it happen today!

£10 can pay for a young person to have a shower, wash their clothes and eat a healthy, hot meal.

£20 can pay for a new pair of shoes or clothing for a job interview or first day of work.

£200 can pay for training and supporting a volunteer to support a young person.

£500 can pay for a young homeless person to access all of the Clock Tower Sanctuary's support and facilities for two months.

We help people like Harry.

"Most importantly for me, CTS is a safe space where you can go, where you can get some food, get some help with housing, or if you need to clean up you can have a shower. It's a community for people in similar situations. I've never experienced that before in my life." Harry, 22 (he/him)
