Are you aged 16-25 years old?
If you’re in danger right now, or you can see someone who is, call the police or an ambulance on 999.
If you think you might be about to become homeless or you already are, please phone us on 01273 722 353.
To make a homeless application if you have nowhere to stay, contact customer Service Centre (Brighton and Hove City Council) – Bartholomew House, Bartholomew Square, BN1 1JE. To contact the council, fill in this online form or call their Housing Advice phone line (01273 294 400, Option 1) between 9:30am – 1:30pm.
In cold and bad weather – when it feels like zero degrees – the ‘Severe Weather Emergency Protocol’ SWEP comes into action and an emergency night shelter is provided by the Council. The SWEP usually opens at Brighton Town Hall in Bartholomew Square, but the venue can change. Dogs can be taken into the night shelter, and hot food and drinks are provided.
Are you worried about someone else?
If you think they’re in immediate danger or need medical help, call the police or ambulance on 999.
If you’re worried about someone, you can let them know about the Clock Tower Sanctuary by telling them where we are, giving them our phone number or sending them to this website.
You can also contact StreetLink – you just need to give them a few details about when and where you saw the person and they’ll go and see them and connect them with support.
