OUTREACH PROJECT
EVERY SATURDAY AT RICHMOND PLACE Open area south of St. Peter's Church, Brighton • From 1pm
Our Outreach Project provides a valuable opportunity to offer a real helping hand to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
Service normally starts just before 1pm and runs for around an hour, depending on the number of people attending. We regularly support more than 100 people, and sometimes twice that number.
Hot food, tea and coffee are available to anyone in need of a warm drink or nourishing meal. We also use our outreach service to distribute donated warm clothing, toiletries and other essentials.
We welcome donations of cakes, snacks and fruit, but ask that all ingredients are clearly listed due to allergies.
A GATEWAY TO OTHER SERVICES
Sussex Homeless Support provides frontline support, but we also recognise when people need specialist help beyond the services we can provide ourselves.
Our outreach work acts as a gateway to other services, helping people access appropriate organisations and projects. Where needed, we can signpost or refer people to specialist organisations including Safe Haven Sussex, StreetVet and Lawstop, as well as other local support services.
We also provide frontline support for SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol). When emergency accommodation is activated because of severe weather, our outreach work and communication platforms help get the message directly to people sleeping rough.
