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.

Ishaq grew up in Egypt, where he lived until he was a teenager. Ishaq’s father was arrested and imprisoned because of an association with the Muslim Brotherhood – a banned organisation in Egypt. It did not matter to Egyptian law enforcement whether the association was real or just perceived. The prison he was sent to is infamous for housing political … Read more
