Loneliness Awareness Week starts today, reminding us how important connection and community really are.💚

Volunteering is a powerful way to tackle loneliness- not only by supporting others, but by building friendships, confidence, and a sense of belonging too. Even a small amount of time can make a big difference to someone’s day… including your own.

There are plenty of wonderful opportunities to get involved in the commuity- including volunteering with our project Havens Food Cooperative, get in touch with them for more info at: [email protected]

We would like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to Newhaven Town Council Councillors Jan, Julie and Kim for helping at the supported breakfast sessions this week that we hold at the Hillcrest Community Centre, whilst our new home at the former Elim Church hall is completing and being renovated.

📣DOUBLE YOUR DONATION AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! 📣

Our crowdfunder for Homeless in the Havens is now live, raising vital funds to support people in our community who are sleeping rough, homeless, sofa‑surfing or living in insecure or emergency accommodation.
Every donation up to £250 per person will be matched pound‑for‑pound by the BA Better Communities Fund until we reach our target.

That means:
💚£10 becomes £20
💛£25 becomes £50
💚£250 becomes an incredible £500

Your support helps us provide essentials, outreach, and stability for those most at risk.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared — it truly makes a difference.

****Thanks to our incredible supporters- and the generosity of British Airways- we’ve officially reached our first milestone of £10,000!
And the good news doesn’t stop there: Enjoolata Foundation has pledged an additional £5,000 in matched funding, meaning your donation will still be doubled! A big thank you to the Enjoolata Foundation for their support.****

We’re raising funds to run a support centre providing vital aid and stability for people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

Mental Health Awareness Week is a reminder that wellbeing grows stronger when we support each other. Volunteering is one of the simplest ways to do that- it boosts your confidence, reduces isolation, and strengthens community bonds.

Whether it’s an hour, a day, or a regular commitment, your time has impact.

Step forward, get involved, and know that small actions can make a big difference. 💚
