Turning lives around for over 30 years
Homelessness has so many possible root causes – domestic violence, debt, addiction, grief or mental health challenges, to name a few. We believe that real change comes from more than a roof over someone’s head. With kindness and experience, our team helps people tackle the issues behind their homelessness whether through counselling, substance use support or simply some guidance to get life back on track.
Everyone’s first contact with Turning Tides looks different. Our outreach teams connect with people sleeping rough every day, giving immediate help and advice.
Community hubs welcome those who are insecurely housed with breakfast, showers and guidance. From there, we provide medium to long-term supported accommodation for people beginning to rebuild their lives. For those ready to take the next step, Move On housing offers stability and structure. At every stage, we’re determined to help our clients find their own pathway out of homelessness and towards a brighter, more secure future.

Do you have a housing problem in Sussex? We can help.
Turning Tides was a real safety net for me. I didn’t have to worry about where my food was going to come from. I didn’t have to worry about the heating, the water bill, or electricity. I was safe – the most secure type of accommodation I’d experienced. I spent a lot of time just trying to process everything. Wanting to give up but still carrying on. There was no fight anymore. I remember my key worker at the time, Ruby – she was good at listening, Ruby – would ask where I saw myself. And for a long time, I wasn’t able to give her an answer. But I did assure her when I’m ready, I’m going to get up, get moving and things will start moving fast from that point.
