achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|There are many reasons why someone becomes homeless. The
Cambridge
Churches
Homeless Project (CCHP) offers anyone
with a
liNe time and compassion
a way to offer practical support tothe local
homeless
community.
Many ofour guests face difficulties that include| |---|---|---| |||addiction,
poor mental and physical
health, debt problems
and exposure| |||to abuse including
domestic violence. For some of our guests, English is| |||not their first language,
and some have no access to public funds so| |||have fewer housing
options available tothem.| |||The CCHP model is simple- a warm welcome, a hot cooked meal and 8| |||clean, warm bed in a safe and welcoming
environment.
Together our| |||guests and volunteers
create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
each| |||evening. CCHP provides a listening ear where volunteers
and guests
alike can each be a blessing to the other. Guests and volunteers
talk over| |||a meal, sharing as much oras little as they want, without expectafion
or| |||agenda. These conversations —often banter, sometimes
touching
or| |||profound —can be a catalyst for change.| |||CCHP is dear about the role it plays within the homeless sector and does| |||not offer counselling
or therapy.
Rather we signpost guests to appropriate| |||services, such as those offered by lit/inter
Comfort, CGL Drug & Alcohol| |||Service orto their GP. All volunteers
undertake
safeguarding
training
and| |||CCHP works within
Ely Diocese Safeguarding
guidelines.| |||CCHP gained the Housing Justice quality mark accreditation
in 2020 and
works with other agencies from the homeless sector to support those| |||known to be rough sleeping on the streets ofCambridge.| |||With the consent ofour guests, CCHP provides
vital information
for other| |||services and contributes to the 'Inform' database used by the city's| |||homeless sector and provides anonymous
data for the national
winter| |||night shelter network
and the MHCLG.| |||Unfortunately,
since the start ofthe Covid pandemic,
the charity has been
unable to operate its usual church-based
night shelters to comply with
government
guidelines,
under which all winter shelter provision was
provided
by local authorities.
However, afew ofthe charity's
volunteers
were able to provkfe some limited support to the local authority
shelter| |||over the winter of 2020-21, where permitted
to do so in a personal| |||capacity.| |||However,
there remained
homeless people with no recourse to public| |||funds (NRPFs) and therefore
ineligible for local authority
support
and
those who were for various reasons, often ofpersonal
safety, unable to| |||use the local authority
provision. Forthese people, the charity was able
to continue to provide support
in the form ofemergency
accommodation
in hotels or bed and breakfast accommodation.
In addition,
itwas able to| |||provide short-term
emergency
accommodation
for those awaiting
local| |||authority
provision.| |||From July 2021 CCHP has also employed
the Bishop of Ely's Officer for
the Homeless. This is an honorary
part-time
position
with no direct| |||funding
from the Diocese but is considered
an essential
role in providing
pastoral
support to the homeless
community
in Cambridge.
By
undertaking
to employ the incumbent
CCHP is providing

and
administrative
resources to enable her to undertake
