Off The Fence Trust

Off The Fence Trust is a Brighton based registered charity founded on a Christian vision and driven by Christian values. The charity provides vital services to the most vulnerable and marginalised in our community. The charity works in the four areas of street homelessness, women at risk, education, and provides supported accommodation for vulnerable young people. Off The Fence staff are supported by an enthusiastic and committed group of more than 50 volunteers.

May we ask for your urgent help to provide hope to the many street homeless and rough sleepers in Brighton and Hove? Their need is desperate as the temperatures on the streets of our city have dropped below freezing.

Your support is needed now more than ever. Please help our 'Project Antifreeze' to continue providing emergency sleeping bags, food, warm drinks and medical supplies to the homeless.

The recent TV and radio coverage of the plight of former TV news reader Ed Mitchell has highlighted that homelessness can come to any family. Ed's story is not unusual. After experiencing redundancy and credit card debts that spiralled out of control he ended up sleeping rough. Many others have suffered the same fate.

Without the support of concerned individuals, Off The Fence would simply not be able to provide the help that is so vitally needed at this time of year. So often this is the only thing that shows people on the streets that somebody cares whether they live or die.

Can we ask you as a matter of urgency for a donation towards the work of Off The Fence? By giving a gift, you can help ensure that we can continue to provide a ray of hope to the most vulnerable on the streets of Brighton and Hove? Please click on our 'Donating' page to see how you can make a gift today.
