Alchemy Charitable Trust: Alchemy Charitable Trust (ACT) has been established to provide support and assistance to families and individuals living in East Sussex who face exceptional need. Our approach is discreet, positive, and practical. We hope that ACT can make a difference to the lives of the families and individuals who receive our help. We have all encountered times in our lives when we have faced unexpected financial demands, pressure or hardship when, no matter how hard we have tried, worked or saved, we simply cannot find the funds or help needed to resolve the problem. For some, family or friends, the State or other charities are able to provide the necessary support but for others their needs fall outside the usual parameters for State or charitable assistance and there appears to be nowhere else to turn. We hope that ACT can make a difference to the lives of the families and individuals who receive our help, by enabling them to overcome their short-term needs. We trust that providing that little extra support we can enable people to face the future again with renewed optimism. Support is through gifts in kind i.e. a donation of the actual goods or service required or in certain circumstances a grant of financial assistance. Very often these grants can help to prevent an immediate crisis from spiralling and threatening the stability of families and individuals. Even where these families and individuals are tackling complex and difficult issues, a small grant or practical gift can make a big difference.
