BRIGHTON youth homelessness charity The Clock Tower Sanctuary has received a £92,000 donation.
The group, which receives no statutory funding to run its service, was astounded to receive a phone call from RiverStone Management Limited, based in Preston Road, Brighton, to say its employees had nominated The Clock Tower Sanctuary to receive the donation.
It is Brighton’s only drop-in service specifically for homeless 16 to 25-year-olds.
It provides a welcoming and safe space and works to prevent young people from a life on the streets but has been struggling to support the growing need for the service due to the small size of its current premises in central Brighton.
Development manager Natalia Borg said: “Brighton and Hove is now home to the UK’s second largest homeless population.”
