Our Charity of the year 2026 is the Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team
The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team began in 2004, founded by Ross Hardy. He saw a desperate need - people arriving at the cliffs in deep distress, often alone, often unseen. His vision was simple but radical: to create a system of immediate, open-hearted response. A way to find people before it was too late. A way to offer connection and understanding before solutions.
Over the years, that vision has grown into a team of trained search and rescue chaplains, both employed and voluntary. They patrol on foot and by car, respond to emergency calls, and locate those at risk. Since they began, they have responded to over 7,500 people who wanted to end their lives and helped them to find a more hopeful path forward.
Humphrey & Co also participates in numerous local charity events and fundraisers. We actively encourage members of staff to independently volunteer and be involved in the work of other charities in the local area.
Our nominated charity for 2025 was
Raystede
Raystede is an animal welfare charity with a 43-acre site located in East Sussex. It was founded in 1952 by a lady called Miss Raymond Hawkins who devoted her life to caring for animals and who sadly passed away in 1998 at the age of 95. At Raystede they care for and rehome a wide range of animals including dogs, cats and small animals. They also care for exotic birds, tortoises, terrapins as well as larger animals. Many of the larger animals live at Raystede permanently, they have elderly goats, sheep, alpaca, horses and donkeys that require specialist care and medication, and they will support these animals for the rest of their life. It costs £6,500 per day to run the sanctuary and as they do not receive any government funding, they rely on generous donations that they are so grateful for.
