The Argus Appeal has donated the largest grant in its history to a charity which helps the homeless.
The £12,000 donation will provide a much-needed boost to Off The Fence, which has been working in Hove for ten years.
The charity offers emergency help to homeless people, including those suffering from drug or alcohol addictions, by pointing them towards the right agencies to help them.
Representatives from Off The Fence were presented with the cheque by Michael Beard, editor-in-chief of the The Argus, and Stephen Lowe, newspaper sales and marketing manager.
Fund-raising manager Sandie Foster said: "The appeal has given us a helping hand and will enable us to continue offering a helping hand to those who find themselves homeless and vulnerable."
