Businesses, schools, groups and individuals are being asked to wear a woolly hat for the day, with a suggested donation of £3 to support the charity’s work to end homelessness.

The event raised more than £1,620 last year and Turning Tides hopes to raise double that amount for 2020.

Moira Gardner, community fundraising officer, said: “The suggested donation is only the price of a coffee.

“These funds are vital to Turning Tides, ensuring we can continue providing life-saving support to the 500 local men and women we support every month.”

Woolly Hat Day helps to raise awareness of homelessness in West Sussex, where Turning Tides run three community hubs, in Worthing, Littlehampton and Horsham.

Those taking part can post a photo on social media using the hashtags #WoollyHat2020 and #endinglocalhomelessness.
