“Everyone really cares here. I think a lot of kids that grow up around the streets, they don’t have anything like this. I think it’s definitely helped a lot of kids get out of bad situations, out of lives of crime, and it’s given them somewhere safe.”

“I was wet and cold throughout the night. But that was what made me experience in some part the reality of not having proper accommodation. I had the choice to leave the tent and take shelter. Many others don’t have that choice.”

A hot meal prepared for young people experiencing homelessness at the Clock Tower Sanctuary
It’s thanks to YOU and your donations that young people who are homeless can always access free hot meals and food parcels here at CTS 💙
Could YOU donate urgently needed food, clothing and toiletry items to our day centre? Even small donations make a BIG difference:
www.thects.org.uk/donate/items/
“The cold is one of the worst parts about being homeless. It was January when we moved to Brighton, and every night was absolutely freezing. We didn’t have much in the van, just a really tiny and uncomfortable bed. We were able to get sleeping bags from the Clock Tower, and that was so helpful.”
Your support is making an incredible difference in the lives of young people like Hazel and Milo. Thank you for giving young people who are homeless the services, support, and safe space they need to move from crisis to stability.

“When I was on the streets, I would often go into coffee shops, just to charge my phone and sit down, and I was kicked out so many times because I couldn’t afford to buy anything. It was so dehumanising. I had such dark thoughts. That’s why the Clock Tower Sanctuary is so important, because it gives me peace of mind, even just for a few hours, and that is so precious.” - Michael, 24 (he/him)
Today is #WorldHomelessDay & #WorldMentalHealthDay.
Last year, 76% of our clients experienced issues with their mental health, and 39% said that their priority need was their mental health.
Thank you for ensuring that young people like Michael have the support, services, and safe space they need 💙
This #WishListWednesday, we’re saying #ThankYou for the difference your donations make! Your donations create the free hot meals and food parcels we provide, ensuring that young people always have free, healthy food. Click below for our #WishList and how to donate:

"It's great to come here, have breakfast and lunch, then we only need to source dinner, and a lot of the time we leave with leftovers, and we can take it back for dinner. So coming here for just a couple of hours, it sets up our meals for the rest of the day."
