Worthing homeless charity “overwhelmed” by support

A homeless charity has been “overwhelmed” with support from the Worthing public.

Schools, churches and other groups have donated gifts, food, clothing and money to Worthing Churches Homeless Projects.

Children at Chatsmore Catholic High School made 100 mini Christmas puddings while Rustington Community Primary School children designed and filled Christmas bags for people sleeping rough.

Other schools collected gift items for the charity.

A group of young people from the Princes Trust raised funds through a street collection.

Louise Brooks from the Worthing Churches Homeless Projects said: “We are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown by the people of Worthing and surrounding areas.”

Unbelievable intolerant commenting!!

Who says they come from abroad?? Nowhere in the article anyway.

Just for your information you miserable so & so, quite a few of the "homeless" are ex servicemen & some women as well. They have done service for their country & laid their lives on the line, for the sakes of amongst others mean nasty, miserable, self pitying, disgraceful so & so´s like yourself.

I hope you had a miserable Christmas & that you will quickly find yourself in a similar postion as other homeless people (I have other terms for you) are in. Just so that you understand not everyone is homeless by choice.

You represent all that is bad & selfish in a society that leaves a lot to be desired. You would be the first on the flight out & have to work for your own ticket too!!!

@ the Argus, it is shameful that such drivel is allowed to be posted. No wonder less & less people bother to leave a comment. Most good ones get torn apart from idiots like the poster I have just taken to task.

Peace & Goodwill to all Men &Women is most certainly missing in their posting.

Most of then homeless have no connection to towns or cities in the south ! Thats a fact. How many move from Brighton and Hove to towns such as Middlesborough or Barnsley?
Answer Probably none
They come here for an easy time. Go back home I say or why dont you all put them up?

It is brilliant that the charity has received such generous support. If someone is in need, that is all that matters. I salute them and all who support them.

It does not matter where people "come from". In previous centuries, my family comes from America and France. If I become homeless, should I be sent 'home' to New England or Montpellier?

A good comment. Unfortunately I would suggest that it goes way over that bigots head.
It has escaped their notice that I am living in Germany & sometimes New Zealand have been since 1976.


@ Steven...c,
I agree with you entirely. Yes, well done to the Children that took the time out to do such a worthy thing. A change from all the negative critic they seem these days to be getting.


@ Allan,
thank-you very much. This bigot really got up my nose with his brainless thoughtless comments.

Obviously one of those who never paid attention in school. Especially dealing with "migration" etc.

Still one can not help such fools no matter how hard one tries.

Somehow this bigots "comments" remind me of a "Monty Python" sketch. The one of buying a new brain in "Currys". If the subject matter was not so serious. well.....

Obviously one of the occupy sucm masquerading ineffectually (no change there then) as me.

You will note, no S in Bladesboy Return(s).

Serving to wake me may prove to be a schoolboy (posh one) error on their part

To the music of Jingle Bells..............

Occupy, Occupy

The posh kids make a mess

They pitch a make shift tent
And never pay the rent
Then claim they're our best friends
The lying never ends

Occupy, Occupy

Much to our delight
They'll soon be off the site
As the Council clear the tents away
What a lovely sight

Please feel free to add additional verses and i shall be launching a new competition shortly; please do join in.

It's going to be similar to Hangman, but called Hang-squatter instead.

Its played exactly like the other game but the purpose it to guess their objectives. And instead of building a gallows, we take away bits from a tent. Then finally we throw water, grass seed and manure to cleanse the site.

Look forward to sharing more with you on this, pretty much every time the waster uses Bladesboy Return to post.

Your ignorance knows no bounds. If you actually took the time to understand what Occupy is all about, you would discover that you have failed to really understand what the movement is trying to achieve.

And with regard to the amazingly hostile comments about the homeless people, from other readers here, I know I should not be so shocked by such shameless and unkind drivel, yet i do still find it amazing that people can be so horrible to others. Although I am not a Christian, there is a saying I never let myself forget: "There but for the grace of God go I".

People who scoff and accuse homeless people have no idea what their lives have entailed. Their self-rightousness is appalling.

CaliforniaGirl,
wrote the following comment, to which I wholeheartedly agree with.

It is good & refreshing to see that there are other people around who do care about those that are left out of society. Through whatever reason!

As you have admitted you are not a Christian, neither am I my Faith being Buddhist. I agree though with your sentiment "There but for the grace of God go I".

I wish you & all other tolerant posters on here a rest Happy Christmas.

There but for the grace of god go I. I just went to the garage in town to get some fuel on my motorbike. And outside the garage shop was a couple sitting there. They looked cold. They said they were homeless and could I spare a bit of change. I felt so sorry for them I gave them 2 quid. I said get something warm inside you, the look on there faces was a massive thanks. There are so many people out there in a situation like that through no making of there own. Life can throw up some really nasty situations for us and none of us are immune. I could have walked away but I didn't .

Oh yes

We (girlfriend and I) were approached yesterday by a nice chap in the centre of town who asked for just 90p to get him home. He was holding a half drunk Tennents Super can and halfway through a cigarette.

I din't give him any cash, he swore at me, I told him to do one and he reeled off towards his next intended victim.

I could have worked away but I didn't. the nasty scrounging waster did and lets hope the same happens to the occupy miscreants

Good on the kids and the charity that have really made a difference to the lives of the homeless in Worthing.

Looks like the government is going to extend the NSNO scheme outside of London. I think this is a good move to get people off the streets and back into community life.
