Organise a fundraiser

Get Inspired

There’s no one right way to fundraise – creativity and community spirit are what make each event special. Here are a couple of examples of what our fantastic supporters have done:

• Zumba with Jo hosted a Zumbathon, bringing together seven dance instructors and over 60 participants for a fun-filled fitness fundraiser.
• The Quayside Ukes, a local ukulele club, have organised lively band nights and music parties to raise funds. Derek Parr, lead club member, says: “Homelessness is a terrible situation and we recognise it could happen to anyone at any time due to difficult life events. Raising money through simply running a raffle and donations from members is a starting point for our involvement with Turning Tides.”

Host Your Own SleepOut

If you’ve been inspired by our SleepOut events, you can hold your own version with friends, family, colleagues or at your school. It’s a powerful way to raise awareness and experience just a fraction of what rough sleeping might feel like, safely and together.

Our SleepOut pack includes tips on choosing a location, staying safe, and sharing your story online to encourage donations. Whether you sleep in a garden, community hall or even your living room, every participant helps us to bring people in from the cold.

WALK A MILE IN SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES

Get your family, friends, and colleagues involved – the more, the merrier! Every step you take and every pound you raise will help transform the lives of local people experiencing homelessness in West Sussex.

For most of us, home is a place of safety, security and comfort. But for some, that stability doesn’t exist. For many people facing homelessness, they must walk for hours just to find shelter, food, or a safe place to rest. It’s estimated that someone without a home can walk up to 11 miles a day simply to survive.

Host Your Own Dog Walk

Host your own Sponsored Dog Walk to raise vital funds for people experiencing homelessness. By taking part with your dog, you’ll be making a difference to the lives of local people experiencing homelessness.

For most of us, home is somewhere we can rely on as a place of safety, security and comfort. But many people across West Sussex have nowhere to call home. They might be forced to sleep in carparks, shop doorways or hidden in the woods. Others may be sleeping in their cars or on a friend’s sofa. Homelessness is on the rise.
