Sussex Community Foundation has partnered with Regent Exhibitions Ltd, owner of the IMEX Group, to create the Brighton & Hove Homelessness Fund.

Regent Exhibitions is a family owned and run Brighton based business. The owners have lived in Brighton for 3 generations and have deep links and love for the city. They are involved in a number of different charities and local organisations.

Like many Brightonians they have watched the plight of homeless people in the City grow over the past decade and felt compelled to support those in greatest need. They partnered with the Sussex Community Foundation to ensure that the money would be well spent and directed to those charities aiming at making a strategic difference to homelessness in Brighton & Hove.

The fund aims to invest in projects focussed on long term thinking and innovative approaches. Grants of up to £20,000 per year for three years will be offered, though there is flexibility to give more in exceptional circumstances. 

Regent Exhibitions Ltd is also supporting the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Network (HRSN), led by Justlife with funding to support the coordination of the Network.
