Horsham Matters

Horsham Matters Ltd is a social enterprise set up by Horsham Churches Together with a focus on delivering projects that provide practical support to those who are in need in the local area. We are committed to helping those who are unable for whatever reason to help themselves. We do not make any judgement on why someone is in the situation they are but aim first to meet their practical needs and then working with partner organisations to help them with any wider issues. In partnership with the Parish and Neighbourhood Councils we are delivering community based youth work across the Horsham District. We also provide the Horsham Young Person Advocacy Service and support the Youth Support Team, working with young people in parks and open spaces during summer evenings. We are supporting the YMCA in delivering an alcohol education programme and are also working with them to deliver an apprenticeship programme to offer training opportunities. to young people. Our work is funded through income generated by sales of donated furniture, electrical items (both white goods and other items) and household goods (including bric-a-brac, linens, books, toys and games) from our Community Charity Centre in Guildford Road and kids store in East St, Horsham. We are able to provide any of these goods as well as baby equipment to anyone on a lower income and as part of the Local Assistance Network can also provide food, fuel key top-ups and emergency travel vouchers.
