SSJ Stronger Relationships, Brighter Futures
We want to bring sunshine into the lives of vulnerable adults experiencing multiple disadvantages in Southampton, Portsmouth, and Hampshire!
This summer, we are aiming to raise £15,000 to fund our vital work, as well as to offer meaningful outings to help service users to strengthen their relationships that can mean so much to them and their journey.
Together, let's build trust, inspire change, and make this summer unforgettable!

How Can You Help?
Donations to Build Connections
The journey of recovery and transformation is difficult and can feel lonely. Creating meaningful moments, in the summer sun, can help build strong relationships with others. It can encourage someone towards everlasting change.
These treats aren't just a fun break from the heat – they're also a chance for our dedicated support workers to connect with service users and residents on a deeper level. Stronger relationships lead to better outcomes, and that's what your support helps achieve!
£5 could fund
an ice cream outing

Building Trust Through Summer Fun
Donations could also fund engaging summer activities through our SSJ Academy like football sessions, swimming outings, and other outdoor adventures.
These activities are more than just summer fun - they're opportunities for:
- Building teamwork and social skills
- Improving physical and mental health
- Fostering a sense of community and belonging
Summer fun is just the beginning! Your contribution helps us provide the support and opportunities needed to inspire lasting change.
