Horsham 'lifeline' group gets set to mark 20th anniversary
An organisation that has proved an essential lifeline for thousands of people across the Horsham district is set to mark a major milestone.
Horsham Matters is this month marking 20 years of service to the community, acknowledging two decades since Horsham Churches Together first planted the seeds of a small community initiative that has since grown into a vibrant independent charity dedicated to meeting local need.
From its beginnings rooted in compassion and neighbourly support, Horsham Matters today provides foodbank services, fuel support, essential household items, and a range of holistic wraparound services to address poverty and hardship across the district, ensuring individuals and families receive both immediate help and long-term support.
And to celebrate its 20th anniversary, a special celebration is to be held at Horsham Matters’ charity shop – Love It Again – in West Street, Horsham, on April 30. Among those attending will be Lady Emma Barnard, Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, along with other local dignitaries and the charity’s board of trustees.
Horsham Matters – committed to improving lives – operates 16 weekly foodbank sessions across central and rural locations and provides practical help alongside wider holistic services to tackle the root causes of poverty.
