| Recipient Org: Description | The objects of the Charity are to relieve poverty, distress and hardship amongst unemployed people and their families living or staying in the Brighton area, regardless of race, sex, age, ability or sexual orientation. (We currently promote our activities to the many people in our community who have mental health issues which have become aggravated by social exclusion, vulnerability and poverty). The Centre aims to provide a package of practical, volunteer run services, which help families and individuals to challenge the effects of poverty, isolation and disadvantage, including: playroom and family support, computing and education classes, access to the internet, daily hot meal, safe and welcoming day centre space, housing advice, family support and practical support (laundry, clothes, food, equipment), volunteering opportunities, advice on benefits and social welfare issues and a wide range of groups, activities and events designed to engage the hardest to reach members of the community. The Centre has at its heart an ethos of empowerment through self-help; people disadvantaged by unemployment, poverty, ill-health, lack of opportunity and poor housing can access our integrated and practical services, while at the same time coming together to work to improve both their own and others' quality of life. We have 9 main projects run by teams of volunteers each supported by a part-time project worker and organised around a community centre setting: Participation Project -Education Project -Food Project -Office Project -Welfare Rights Project Temporary Housing Project -Playroom Project -Family Support - Digital and Financial Inclusion. |
