Hello Vicky, Donna & Lisa here…

We’ve taken on the challenge this year to fundraise for Turning Tides, who help people in your community with no safe place to call home.

We are excited to not only raise money for this amazing charity but to also build some really strong habits ourselves. We have committed to the challenge of completing 21 different Park Runs across Sussex & Surrey in the first half of 2024! Starting on Saturday 6th January.

Here’s why we wanted to help…

Turning Tides is now the biggest provider of services for single homeless people in West Sussex. They continue to grow and develop their services to meet the needs of the local area – with over 5,000 supporters, 300 volunteers and 140 staff.

Turning Tides understands that anyone’s life can unravel into homelessness. So they bring together compassionate individuals and organisations who work tirelessly to transform the lives of people in your local community and to change perceptions of homelessness.

Turning Tides provides a warm, safe space to listen to anyone who reaches out for help. Providing real pathways out of homelessness and committed to supporting people at every stage of their journey. The breadth of their services empower people experiencing homelessness to become confident and find the strength and belief in themselves to create a brighter future.

The number of people facing homelessness and coming to Turning Tides for support has doubled in recent months.

Outreach teams reach out to rough sleepers and run drop in community hubs.

Residential projects help people off the streets and support them as they rebuild their lives.

Specialist staff work with mental health issues, trauma and addiction.

‘Move-on’ housing provides that much needed step towards independent living.

The work at Turning Tides couldn't happen without their amazing supporters. No matter how you get involved you will be helping Turning Tides to make a real difference in your community www.turning-tides.org.uk/

Please support us in helping to make a difference…
