Charity

The Whitehawk Inn - The Whitehawk Inn, is a Brighton based, award winning charity, has been chosen as one of only six Official Local Charities for the 2012 Brighton Marathon. The Whitehawk Inn, current holder of The Argus Appeal’s ‘Charity of the Year ‘and Brighton & Hove Council’s ‘Best Community Initiative’ awards, works tirelessly to offer those residents of Brighton & Hove who have, for some reason, ‘lost their way’ or are ‘searching for a new direction’ every chance possible to find their new life. As a community led organisation, the charity’s dedicated and passionate workforce provide information and advice about learning and work, offering a range of support activities for adults. The Centre itself is a bright, local community hub that provides visitors and learners with an inspirational environment in which to spend time with people who genuinely want to help them to move forward. In just over a decade, The Whitehawk Inn has helped more than 7,400 people. 70% of whom live in an area of deprivation and 92% have known barriers to participation that result in social exclusion, poverty, low educational attainment and skill levels, poor work prospects, poor health and family breakdown. Inside just three years The Whitehawk Inn supported 200 people back to work and thus resulted in a reported improvement in their quality of life, including increased self-confidence, motivation and a feeling of being more connected to others in the community.

Faith moved to Brighton in 2005, having spent a long, hot summer visiting the city regularly. Like many visitors to Brighton, it was love at first sight. Despite the fact she would have been happy cleaning toilets as long as she was living in Brighton, she managed to land herself a job in email marketing, and has been working in New Media ever since. Faith is now very happy to be working locally as a Project Manager for local web agency ‘Cubeworks’ – and feels very lucky to be able to ride her bike from Hove along the seafront to central Brighton,  a journey she considers to be one of the best commutes in the country.

Faith is passionate about the city, and no stranger to raising money for good causes.  In 2007 she was part of a promotional group that staged a sell-out one day festival at the King and Queen pub, which raised over £5,600 to help build a school in Africa.  Running a Marathon however, is new territory. Motivated by a strong desire to raise money for a local charity that was making a tangible difference to its community; Faith discovered The Whitehawk Inn, and its great work helping local people back into work, the perfect charity to fulfil her ambition.  

When she’s not out in the open air training, Faith will be getting ready for her wedding which also happens to be taking place in 2012.  So, expect to hear tips on how to make 500 meters of bunting and other homemade goodies, as she’s keen to put as much of a personal touch on the day as possible.
