Our first priority is to prevent people falling into homelessness. We know, of course, that this is not always possible. And when that is the case, we follow our pillars of support – to relieve, recover, resettle and restore. We give people the support, the resources and the opportunity make real and lasting change.
What we do
“I received warmth, food, showers, clothes, and a roof over my head without judgement. This - and I do not speak lightly, saved my life.”
Our impact 2025/26
In 2025/26 Stonepillow supported 967 people experiencing, at risk of, or rebuilding their lives after, homelessness.
37% of these people came through our doors for the first time.
124 people can be housed safely each night across 21 properties run by Stonepillow.
But we know it takes more than a bed for the night to empower someone to move on from homelessness.

“The future we are building goes beyond numbers. Behind every figure is a person. With your support, we can help more people rebuild and change their lives.”

Our core services
Hubs and hostels
Stonepillow operates two ‘Hubs’ and two ‘Hostels’, one each in Chichester and Bognor Regis, and one ‘Resource Hub’ in Bognor Regis.
Working as drop-in day centres, the Hubs are a first port of call for anyone who finds themselves homeless or in crisis. They meet basic needs as well as helping people find the support they need, either with Stonepillow or one of our partners.
The hostels offer bedrooms, communal facilities and are open 24/7. The Resource Hub provides health and wellbeing services, counselling and other support.
Supported accommodation
We also manage nine ‘Supported Accommodation’ properties across Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Chichester, where clients of Stonepillow can stay and benefit from lower levels of support whilst working towards being fully independent.
Recovery service
Our ‘Recovery Service’ is a unique, abstinence-based, 12-bed residential rehabilitation service for people with drug and/or alcohol problems.
Outreach
Our outreach team works closely with local district councils to identify anyone who finds themselves rough-sleeping. This team’s resilience and never-give-up attitude helps those who are hardest to reach to engage with our services and the support they need to get their lives back on track. Crises will always occur, but with the support of organisations like Stonepillow, there need never be a second night out.
