Our Health & Wellbeing Youth Support Worker, Emma, supported a young person who had been referred to Impact Initiatives by their school nurse.

After discovering the young person's interest in policing, Emma organised a visit to the Old Police Cells Museum, creating a meaningful opportunity to build trust, confidence and engagement through something they genuinely enjoy.

By tailoring our support to each young person's interests, we help them feel heard, valued and empowered. 💙

A listening ear can make a real difference. 💛

We're pleased to welcome volunteers from Brighton & Hove Samaritans to Stopover 1, our women-only supported accommodation service in Brighton.

Many of the women we support have experienced trauma, abuse or homelessness. Having access to a safe, confidential space where they can talk openly and know they'll be listened to without judgement is invaluable.

We're incredibly grateful to the Brighton & Hove Samaritans volunteers for giving their time and compassion to support our residents. 🙏

Partnerships like this strengthen the support we can offer and remind our residents that they don't have to face difficult times alone.
