The Hummingbird Project began as a volunteer-led project supporting displaced people in the Calais 'Jungle', a refugee camp in France, before moving our services to Brighton following the refugee camp in 2016. Now, we support over 300 young people each year through our weekly youth group, Global Social Club, Young Women's Group, Young Leaders programme, 1:1 advocacy and casework support, and our recent clinical psychologist service, Side by Side, in partnership with the Helen Bamber Foundation.
As we navigate a time of financial difficulty, we have been overwhelmed by the support of our community. The ticket proceeds and money raised on the day will support us to continue our work going forwards.
We look forward to spending the day celebrating with you! Whether you have been a part of Hummingbird since the beginning or you're a new face wanting to learn about the ogranisation, all are welcome.
There are four ticket prices available. Please choose the one which best reflects your cicrumstances. If finances are a barrier to you attending, please do get in touch and we can offer a concession price.
This will be a youth-friendly and alcohol-free event.
