SUPPORT
support is vital
Safe in Sussex receives limited funding from local authorities towards the cost of running our four refuges.
We receive some additional funding through the National Lottery and Children in Need but we also to have to raise a substantial amount ourselves each year.
We couldn’t do this without the amazing support and generosity we receive from corporate sponsors, local businesses, volunteers and individuals.

Demand for our services grows every year and finding the money to fund our vital services gets tougher all the time.
