St Luke's Advice Service (SLAS) is a small charity founded on Christian values, based in central Brighton. We help some of the most vulnerable people in Brighton and Hove by providing practical support and advice to help them overcome financial hardship and access benefits they desperately need. Last year our small team of paid staff and volunteers helped over 800 people. What makes us special is the time and compassion we offer each person who approaches us for help. We help people become whole again and feel connected to their community so they can overcome their financial crises and/or benefits issues and get back on with their lives. We are highly regarded in the City and work in partnership with several other organisations. We are a values-based organisation, and our trustees are a critical part of an organisation that is people-centred and forward-thinking. Our Board ensure the charity is fit for the future, well governed, and support the staff and volunteering team in their operational delivery.
