Sometimes, making a big difference is as simple as a donation of noodles. Many of the young people we support don’t have cooking facilities, and instant noodles are a very popular and frequently requested item in our weekly food parcels. Send an email to info@thects.org.uk to donate today 💙

“Everyone really cares here. I think a lot of kids that grow up around the streets, they don’t have anything like this. I think it’s definitely helped a lot of kids get out of bad situations, out of lives of crime, and it’s given them somewhere safe.” - Charlotte, 24 (she/her)

“My favourite thing is connecting with people and being someone they can trust. It’s scary trusting people when you’re in such a vulnerable state in your life - so it’s a massive honour for me to have people trust me, share their stories, and accept support.” Nishat (they/them), CTS volunteer 💙

Your support means that 16 - 25 year old's can eat a free hot meal, 5 days a week, right here at CTS 💙 Click below to donate the food, clothing, and toiletry items that would make the biggest difference in a young person's life, or to read Hazel and Milo's story today: linktr.ee/thectsbrighton
"It's great to come here, have breakfast and lunch, then we only need to source dinner, and a lot of the time we leave with leftovers, and we can take it back for dinner. So coming here for just a couple of hours, it sets up our meals for the rest of the day."
