First Base Appeal

Our appeal is still open - please help people facing homelessness this winter.

East Sussex County Council need to make savings of £55 million in the next financial year and our East Sussex Floating Support Service is facing a significant proposed funding reduction from October 2025.

The final decision on funding will be made by elected members in February 2025. Up until 10 February 2024, if you are a resident of East Sussex, you can make your voice heard by signing our petition to protect this essential service.
