The costs of running our five projects are around £1.2 million per year. We receive some funding from Supporting People through Local Government and we receive housing benefit when clients reside in our projects. This leaves us with a shortfall of approximately £400,000 p.a. which we need to find.
The additional funds are raised through various different sources i.e. legacies, fundraising events, trusts etc.
The local community are generous in giving time and money. If every resident of Worthing were to donate just £10 per year the organisation would have sufficient funds to run for another year, with £15 per resident, 450 individuals would receive the services they need and the Worthing area will be a community where no local person needs to sleep out and everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
