The day centre was the vision of Pauline Peagam-Phillips the Salvation Army community development manager.
It was opened on 2010 and for more than 10 years she and Skyler helped many people in distress find hope and a way out of their spiralling chaotic lives.
Pauline aimed to help marginalised people in Eastbourne by a dedicated service of meeting people’s practical, emotional and personal aftercare needs.
