Charity & Giving

Our Church Charity 2019-2020:
Chester Aid for the Homeless (CATH)

The church charity for 2019-2020 is Chester Aid for the Homeless (CATH), a Chester City Centre charity for homeless people, providing support, encouragement and a safety net to those in crisis. It operates the only homeless day care centre in Cheshire as well as offering 24 supported beds. There is a high demand for their services and they have a continual waiting list.

We support the charity through our Sunday morning coffee money, occasional retiring collections, items of clothing, food and toiletries at Harvest and Christmas and a share of fund raising proceeds.

Further information can be found on their website.
