Where we work
We've been preventing children and young people from facing crisis and supporting them to achieve their potential across Sussex and Surrey for 175 years.
We prevent youth homelessness by providing supported accommodation alongside the wraparound support they need. We give children and young people easy access to support and advice services when they need them. We provide children, young people and families with a range of mental health and emotional wellbeing services
Find out more about our 3 main areas of work; Accommodation, support & advice, and counselling.
