People like Floyd* are trying to survive on the streets, unseen, unheard and alone.
Our hubs are a lifeline for homeless people facing extreme hardship every day. More than just a warm place to be, they offer dignity, safety and connection.
More than anything, they help restore hope for the future.
725 people on the streets of Chichester and Arun found support at Stonepillow’s day hubs last year.
Your donation, whatever the size, can help make this winter different for them.
*Name has been changed. Floyd is portrayed by an actor.
You can also donate by cheque payable to Stonepillow. Post to Stonepillow, 39 Southgate, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 1DP.
Contact fundraising@stonepillow.org.uk if you prefer another way to donate.

”After I lost pretty much everything, I was homeless. I was in a tent in Fishbourne and before that I was on the street around Chichester with a sleeping bag.

”When it rained I'd shelter in the multi-storey car park. I'd wake with chest pains from the petrol fumes.
”I used the hub daily. For a place to get warm, somewhere to eat and somewhere to shower, that was so important. I used the washing machine for my clothes. The hub was so vital as somewhere to go, staff were welcoming and provided me with support at a time when I was at my most vulnerable.
At the hubs you can get clean and warm, have food and wash and dry your clothes.
Simple things that are out of reach on the streets, like charging a phone, using a computer, getting a haircut or having access to a doctor are made possible through the hubs.
And it’s here that our support team can help empower people to restore their lives.
