Thank you for the wonderful support The Argus has given StreetSmart this year - it plays a crucial role in our campaign as StreetSmart's media partner in Brighton and Hove.

The paper's promotion of the scheme is a vital contribution to its success and for this, we are immensely grateful.

StreetSmart raised a record total of more than £410,000 in 13 cities during the 2004 campaign. This is a fantastic achievement and is a tribute to the calibre and commitment of the 416 restaurateurs who supported us and to StreetSmart's fundraising for the homeless.

Brighton and Hove restaurants raised a considerable sum - over £9,000.

I would also like to thank the following people:

*Alison Ali and Ben Kypreos for their sterling efforts running Street Smart in Brighton and Hove;

*Bloomberg - its support covers all StreetSmart's production and admin costs, ensuring every penny in every pound donated goes towards helping the homeless;

*Forward - the publishing company where StreetSmart is so happily based and from whom we draw significant talent;

Lastly - but most importantly - the restaurateurs, their staff and customers, without whom there is no StreetSmart in the first place.

-Juliet Marshall, Director, StreetSmart, London
