Charity Shop - Love It Again is looking for Volunteers

Who Are We?

Horsham Matters began 20 years ago when a group of local churches saw people in their community struggling with hunger, financial worries, and isolation. They came together with a simple belief: that no one in Horsham District should face hardship alone. The Horsham District Foodbank, established in 2004 and part of the Trussell Trust network, remains at the heart of our services, delivering food provision across the district, including through our Hub on the Move mobile food bank.

While emergency food support remains at the heart of what we do, this small and practical response to urgent need has now grown into a holistic charity that helps thousands of local people every year.  Through all of this, one thing has never changed: we are neighbours helping neighbours, offering care, dignity and hope when life feels overwhelming.

Love it Again is our high street store right here in Horsham. We sell quality vintage and retro items and each sale benefits those in need living right here in the Horsham District and gives items destined for landfill another life.
