Donations

Thanks to our supporters

​​Fresh Start aims to address social isolation and to create an environment that fosters the growth of competent citizenship in our community. We already offer support to over 250 individuals within the local community and have over the years helped hundreds more. Our service has helped people who have existed on the fringes of society and may have been tempted by crime or been unable to support their families through dependency or poverty. Helping to build a community is a sustainable way of solving some of the deep-seated problems in society and with your help we can ensure this work continues and will be able to expand the services that we offer. Please donate what you can and become part of our supportive community.

Your donation will help us empower more families. We use PayPal for the payments, but you don't have to have a PayPal account to donate:

Thumbprint Foundation is very generous with their building from which we run our activities, and many of our donors  and volunteers are connected to Thumbprint Foundation.

A core of individual supporters continues to give regularly to Fresh Start.  This year we have seen an increase in donations and the success of our fund-raising event.  

We have secured grants or donations from Trusts and charitable organisations including:

• The Dodgson Foundation
• The Brighton Lions Club
• Sussex Community Foundation
• Merry Maids Society
• Waitrose Community Matters

• Ian Askew Trust
• Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club
• Give As you Live Scheme
• Cranks

We want to thank our many supporters; trusts, voluntary organisations, churches, families and individuals, all who have given so much in the last year to Fresh Start, either in monies, time or donating goods in kind.  Their contribution has helped shape Fresh Start into where we are today.

• We have received financial contributions.
• We have received goods in Kind.
• We have been given 1197 volunteer hours to help run activities.
