First Base Christmas Appeal

You can help people facing homelessness this winter.

We are raising funds for First Base, our day centre for people facing homelessness in Brighton and Hove. First Base provides practical essentials such as hot food, showers and clean dry clothes, alongside in-depth advice and support to move people away from homelessness for good.

With growing demand, rising costs and cuts to funding, your support is more crucial than ever. Please donate to our Christmas Appeal; even the smallest donation can make a big difference. Your gift could offer someone hope, dignity, and a path to a better future.

Although most immigration cases are complicated, it can be particularly difficult to work through the layers to help someone remain in the UK when someone has experienced domestic violence. A clear example of this is Kosi’s case, who was concerned she wouldn’t be able to remain in the UK if she left her spouse. This is her story. Kosi is originally from Ghana and had been living in the UK for several years with her husband … Read more
