PLEASE DONATE
Friday 25th of November is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and to mark this day I would like to highlight the work of a charitable community group close to my heart.
Homeopathy in the Sussex Community (HISC) works in in partnership with 4 local charities, Southdown Housing, RISE, Safe in Sussex and Survivors’ Network. Established in 2011, its main focus is domestic and sexual abuse, and mental health. The aim of HISC is to offer a low cost, or free, homeopathic service as part of an integrated approach to support survivors on the road to recovery. Without HISC many would not otherwise be able to afford access to holistic therapies.
In 2021 across all 4 projects, HISC offered 160 homeopathy clinics, which translates to 461 client appointments. Each clinic lasts around 3 hours, with an average of 2 – 3 clients seen during that time. The three professional homeopaths dedicated to these projects are registered, insured, and come with a huge amount of experience of working with vulnerable groups.
The geographic area of HISC’s work is primarily Brighton & Hove, though since 2017 the group has been working in partnership with registered charity Safe in Sussex, which offers help and support for people affected by domestic abuse in the West Sussex area, through the provision of refuges and outreach programmes.
HISC is funded by charitable grants and donations, and without this generosity would not exist. Raising funds to keep all 4 projects viable is an ongoing challenge, and so I would be grateful if you could consider making a donation to this worthy cause, on the day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, by scrolling to the bottom of the HISC webpage, and hitting the donate button.
Thank you very much.
