We are working to support homeless adults in Chelmsford & Essex, providing temporary accommodation and 1-1 support to help them regain control of their lives and get back on their feet. Your support makes this possible and brings change to our community. #heartforthehomeless

With some very cold weather on the way this weekend can you help us provide some warmth to rough sleepers? We need emergency supplies of sleeping bags and small pop up tents to bring some relief. Items can be dropped off at 200 New London Road, CM2 9AB which we will distribute.

Today is #worldkindnessday - a simple, impactful way to make a positive difference in your world. We can all agree that the world needs more kindness at the moment. So just be sure to spread positivity, share a smile, and that kindness may just come back to you.

We have a new service user who is only just beginning his journey back into independent living. He is really struggling with being alone so we would like to provide him with a portable tv. If you can help contact Andrea on 01245 281104 or drop us a message. Thanks!

We are so excited to share this amazing news with you!! It's been a long journey but well worth the work and means 24 new homes in Essex for adults experiencing homelessness by Spring 2025. Watch out for more updates on the development over the coming months. #bepartofthestory

CHESS believes in the holistic wellbeing of our service users & organises activities that will get them active in mind and body. We are organising a football tournament but are in need of equipment, particularly coloured bibs. If you can help do please get in touch. Thankyou!

Where we would we be without our amazing volunteers? Yasin from Prospero Teaching joined us today and did a fab job of clearing the CHESS car park of moss and bushes. Thankyou so much Yasin!
