Turning Tides

Turning Tides is a charity dedicated to ending homelessness in West Sussex. Founded in 1991, we’ve grown from a small group of kind-hearted Christians to the largest homelessness charity in the county. We work to reduce rough sleeping in our communities and support our clients to take steps towards independent living and a more stable future. While our central office is in Worthing, our work spans the county – from East Grinstead to Littlehampton and across areas in between. Our location means we have a deep understanding of rural and coastal homelessness, where available services can be even more stretched, and this less visible side of rough sleeping is a large focus of our work. Our long-standing roots in the local community are a real strength. We work hard to raise awareness about the causes of homelessness and to challenge the stigma around it, helping to create a more understanding and welcoming society where our clients can feel at home.
