Raffle tickets priced at £3 each are available now from the gallery and during the evening. All proceeds will go directly to Samaritans.

The gallery will also be previewing their latest show, *Between Land and Sea*, an exhibition inspired by the changing moods of the land, sea and sky.

Included in the exhibition are works by Brighton based artists **Mark Johnston**, **Richard Whadcock**, **Luella Martin**, **Kirsty Wither** and **Victoria Graimes**.

A percentage of sales made on the night will be donated to Samaritans and the show will continue through the summer.

Since being launched, the local branch of Brighton, Hove & District Samaritans has had over 1.3 million contacts with people who are either in distress, or despair, or feeling lonely.

Volunteers have seen these numbers rise from an average 800 to 67,000 contacts per year, indicating that people value the service today more than ever.

The branch is entirely staffed by volunteers, is funded by charitable donations and it costs £180 per day to keep the centre open -ˇ 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
