Support that helps you feel safe, be well and live the life you choose
Southdown provides housing, mental health, and learning disability support across Sussex. For over 50 years, we've worked alongside people to help them find stability, build connections, and live more independently.
What makes us different
We listen before we act, work alongside you rather than doing things to you, and stick around for as long as you need us.
This comes from three beliefs that shape everything we do:
