Stonepillow

Dedicated to helping the homeless, Stone Pillow provides help for those in need of it most in Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. The charity helps more than 130 people rebuild their lives and find a home each day. They offer vulnerable individuals a fresh start, by providing day centres, hostels, a recovery service, and supported housing. Not only this, Stone Pillow run two charity shops giving those in need a chance to learn valuable life skills. The charity treats people as individuals, understanding that everyone’s experience being homeless is different.

We sponsor Stone Pillow’s ‘Big Sleep Out’. The charity arrange an annual ‘Big Sleep Out’ to raise awareness and funds for homeless people in local areas. Anyone can sign up and get sponsored to sleep outside and build shelters, to gain an understanding into the lives of those without homes. The event is growing and even saw it’s first Bognor event this year. You can take part in raising awareness for this important cause at the next sleep out in Chichester, which takes place this September.

Pink Pub to Pegasus Bridge

Every four years, a group of friends gather together to ride bicycles worth no more than £25. The pals ride in aid of a different charity each year. 2019 saw the friends supporting All Call Signs (ACS), a peer-to-peer chat service offering someone to talk to for those who feel they need it. The 2019 ride also supported Last Night DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ), a charity which creates events for the electronic music industry, to raise money for children in crisis all around the globe. The bicycle ride goes from The Pink Pub in Bognor Regis to Pegasus Bridge in Normandy. This year, in memoriam of D-Day, the friends dressed in Home Guard attire and arrived on the anniversary of D-Day. The bike ride was arranged as a show of respect to all those who risked or lost their lives in services to our country.

Kiwi sponsors a bicycle to allow more people to take part in the event.
