Partnerships
Putting the project within the context of community collaboration, Brighton and Hove FareShare is represented on the Meaningful Occupation sub-group of the Single Homeless Strategy. This group is looking at ways to develop improved access to training and employment for homeless people. There are further opportunities here to develop links between local employers, social enterprises, training providers and homeless agencies.
We collaborate with other networks such as Engage (the Brighton and Hove Churches Community Development Association), Equal (supporting adults into training and employment).
We work alongside Business Action on Homelessness and the Careers Development Group to provide work placement opportunities to the long term unemployed.
In addition FareShare has been actively involved with Sussex Probation Service as a Placement Provider for the Enhanced Community Punishment Scheme (ECPS). To date we have had 10 people through ECPS doing around 240 hours each. We provide a positive working environment encouraging Teamwork, Responsibility and Interpersonal Skills. We endeavour to provide everybody on the ECPS with on the job training alongside other volunteers and staff.
Spotlight on Rotary Clubs
FareShare Brighton and Hove is supported by three Rotary clubs in the city:
• Rotary Club of Brighton & Hove Soiree
• Rotary Club of Brighton & Hove Breakfast
• Rotary Club of Hove
Rotary members from across the city provide substantial support to FareShare Brighton and Hove. Since becoming involved in 2003, members have volunteered their time to carry out at least three runs a week, driving the vans and delivering food to people in need. Rotary Club members also provide invaluable support for fundraising and awareness raising events. Together they have donated over 4,300 hours to our cause.
We would also like to thank the Rotary Club members for their financial support over the years, through directly funding us, and through supporting our fundraising activities. With their links to prestigious people in the city, they have been an active partner in helping us to build relationships and approach local MPs.
