Sussex Nightstop – Art with a Heart
ART WITH HEART
AOH is proud to partner Sussex Nightstop – our local youth homeless charity. We invite you to join their May festival charity art sale as an artist, by donating a piece for this worthy cause.
Artists Open Houses and Sussex Nightstop joined forces in 2023 to celebrate the unique way in which both movements utilise homes for the benefit of our community.
Just as our artists throw open their homes to showcase great art, Sussex Nightstop’s volunteer hosts offer a spare room to young people for short overnight stays, while they find their new home.
It’s a clever, efficient way to address youth homelessness – a problem that has increased by 13% in the South East – propelled by the cost of living; high rents; zero-hour contracts and constrained job opportunities.
The service shows young people at a very difficult time that people care and things will get better, as this guest explained:
“It’s hard to sum up…. Overwhelming. I hope that people would recognise the impact Nightstop has here in Brighton. It’s very unique, brings a homely environment to a scary situation.”
