A night of pizza, games and laughter is on offer as Sussex Emmaus hosts its community event.
The homelessness charity is inviting the public to its Happy Palentine’s evening, taking place at Café@Emmaus, Drove Road, Portslade, on February 13 from 6 to 9pm.
Rachida Zitouni, business manager at Sussex Emmaus, said: "We want our Happy Palentine’s event at Sussex Emmaus to bring people together and celebrate the friendships and connections that make life brighter.
"Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll be made to feel very welcome.
"Every ticket sold helps us continue supporting individuals who have experienced homelessness, so it’s a great night out that will also make a real difference."
The £12 entry fee includes an evening of board games and fresh pizza cooked by an Emmaus companion using the charity’s on-site pizza oven.
