We are a small, local charity operating on a low-cost basis. Nevertheless, to meet our running costs, we need to raise the equivalent of about £150 for every day we open our doors; around £40,000 each year.

Funding & corporate giving

St Anne’s relies on the generosity of the community. Our local parishes, schools and colleges, the business community and individuals have long been (and remain) our bedrock. It is truly amazing that this support has kept this organisation working with the homeless in Brighton for over thirty years.

As a matter of policy, we do not accept funding which ties our hands as to who we can support. This is also useful to some of the agencies we work with, as we can give help to people they may be unable to approach.

What needs funding?

Our main costs are premises and salaries. We try to keep our food costs to a minimum but we do still need to raise many thousands of pounds each year.

Individual fundraising

St Anne’s couldn’t survive without the support of our local community. If you’d like to get involved in fundraising for us, there are simple and effective ways to help: if you are running a 10K, holding a quiz night or having a bake sale, at work, school or at home, please do consider fundraising for us!

You can run your own campaign for us through JustGiving.com.

Local business support

Some local shops are very generous, donating bread, milk and other items each week. Parishes and schools all over Sussex give us food donations from their Harvest Festival services.

We are very grateful to our corporate supporters who have helped us.
