RAYS is a charitable organisation that cares for children who were born with the human immuno virus (HIV). Many of these children lost their parents or were abandoned by their families. RAYS welcomes these children into its family and gives them a home, cares for their medical needs, their education and counsels them towards a life of possibility, positivity and hope.

The Resource Centre is a charity serving voluntary and community groups in the Brighton and Hove area. We are used by around 800 different local groups every year, from playgroups to environmental campaigns, residents associations to arts organisations.
The Centre has been in existence since 1975. Through many changes over the decades since then, the Centre has retained its unique position as a supportive space for grass roots community activity in Brighton and Hove. Our Theory of Change outlines our distinctive philosophy and aims.
We provide a wide range of services for local groups, including printing, information and advice. Our equipment hire service is currently suspended due to the Covid 19 pandemic but we hope to reopen it as soon as it is safe to do so. For our member groups, we offer additional services. All our services have been developed in response to requests from community groups.
