The Clock Tower Sanctuary is the only drop-in day centre for 16-to-25 year old's experiencing homelessness in Brighton. It provides vital practical and emotional support so that young people can reach their potential and help break the cycle of homelessness.

I have volunteered here for four years now and seen countless times at first hand how much our young people benefit and appreciate the service, it really does make a huge difference and I have seen lives turned around.

Sadly this is not always the case and two of our young people have tragically died this year, this has motivated me to do the Big City Sleepout again, to raise funds and awareness, if that can help prevent any further loss it's a cold night well spent.

So, big please to a generous donation, a round of drinks is £20-30 these days, you can afford to give one up !
