A singer has performed a special gig in the city for women experiencing homelessness.

Starling, 32, from South London, met with the women in Justlife, London Road, Brighton, on Friday where she then performed a special concert just for them.

This was part of her Cool Girl House Concert Tour, where she is aiming to perform 50 free gigs in 50 days.

Justlife, a Brighton-based charity supporting people who are 'hidden homeless' and living in emergency or temporary accommodation, organised the gig as part of their befriending scheme.

The scheme provides opportunities for people experiencing hidden homelessness to socialise, enjoy fun activities and try something new. 

A spokeswoman for Justlife, said :"We loved having Starling come and play for us in our hub on London Road. 

"The attendees, who have all experienced homelessness, loved the intimate concert, and the candid Q&A afterwards. 

"At the Q&A, Starling and the attendees spoke about female struggle, confidence and empowerment. It was a really uplifting event." 

Starling performed songs about courage, resilience and coming through situations stronger than before at the event.

The intimate gig was attended by 10 people who are all supported by the charity.

Two women attending the gig praised Starling, with one saying how she was able to relate to some of the lyrics in Starling's songs.

Starling said: "Justlife does exceptional work and is a pioneer in creating change in the homelessness sector, now more than ever we need them and I wanted in some small way to support their excellent work, performing for and holding a Q&A at their Brighton base was an honour and the ladies I met were inspirational, a memory etched in my heart forever." 

The Justlife charity, which is national but has a hub in the city, supports people to improve their mental and physical health and find a safe, stable home of their own.

Nationally, the charity pushes for policy change to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness across the country, whether on the streets or in emergency accommodation.
