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. Please see our privacy policy to see how we will protect your personal information.
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:

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.

Trustee Karen Peck opened her beach hut as part of the Hove Beach Hut Association Open Day. Many people wanted to give a donation for the mulled wine and ginger biscuits she was giving out. So, she explained she was a trustee of Fresh Start and would give the donations to the charity. You can read more about the Open Day and see more photos in the Argus newspaper
