Stonepillow offers shelter, information and support to empower homeless and vulnerable individuals to make positive changes in their lives.

We are a homeless charity for the Chichester and Arun Districts providing a recovery journey for our clients which focuses on the key areas of health, housing and work. Stonepillow operates Hostels and Hubs in Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton together with a Recovery Service and 'Move on' Accommodation.

Our social enterprise project, Stonepillow Restore, works with the local community, recycling furniture and white goods that have been donated by the public. It is here that our clients and the long-term unemployed receive training in restoration work, furniture repair and office skills. Items are then sold in aid of Stonepillow from our premises in Chichester. Families on low incomes in the area benefit from greatly discounted prices.

Our clients are able to progress through our services and receive guidance to help change their lives for the better.
