On the 16th May 2022 we'd raised £460 with 13 supporters in 42 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Following huge successes in other cities across the country, the “Street Support - Brighton & Hove” App and website has just landed in the city and is already rapidly becoming the key live portal for accurate up-to-date information for people experiencing homelessness and also their support workers.
The project is run by a coalition of groups including Arch Health Care, Justlife Foundation, Project Antifreeze of Off the Fence, B&H City Council and some faith groups.
Street Support- Brighton & Hove is unique in that it is continually updated by the city’s key front-line organisations including charities and other groups which support people who are in danger of, or who have become homeless, as well as Brighton & Hove city council and NHS services. It’s this uniqueness that has ensured its success across multiple cities within the UK including Nottingham, Birmingham and Manchester.
The service needs funding to ensure it can operate all year round providing the help and support so desperately needed by some of our most vulnerable residents.
We are seeking local businesses that would be prepared to pay £500 which would fund the site for one month and allow it to be developed.
We are also seeking local donations from people to keep the site live and help us expand the information there as well as get leaflets,window stickers and cards out to local businesses, groups, services and to people on the street.
You help is really appreciated. Our target is £5,000. Any funds raised above this will be distributed to front line organisations meeting need on a daily basis.

Brighton & Hove Buses/ Metrobus Managing Director Ed Wills said, “Street Support do an amazing job at signposting homeless people and people at risk of being homeless to vital services in Brighton & Hove. When we found out that Street Support had created a new digital way to sign post even more people to local services we wanted to help.”
“We would encourage everyone to help people access the services they need by supporting the fundraising efforts for a new app and website, if they can."
