SUSSEX HOMELESS SUPPORT
We provide a number of charitable services to homeless and rough sleepers including running street kitchens to provide food and clothing. We currently run 7 days a week giving volunteers a chance to work together on these projects. Since March 2020 the first Covid-19 lock down we stepped up our services, this was made possible by extra vounteers over 300 and support from businesses and groups.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £14,622.66 as of 31 March 2025, which the trustees consider a prudent level given that grant applications are not guaranteed. The charity's reserves policy is to maintain funds to cover foreseen expenses for up to one month in advance, and the current balance is described as marginally above the normal £9,000-£10,000 balance. The filing confirms that no government grants were received and that the charity relies heavily on donations of goods and services to operate.
