The primary
purpose of CCHP has been to run a Winter Night Shelter
from December
until the end of March, working
in collaboration
with the
local statutory
authorities,
other charities and individuals
to bring in
homeless guests and offer services to aid them
in gaining
empioyment
and longer-term
housing. We offer awarm welcome, a hot meal, a bed
forthe night and a hot drink in the morning.
This is all made possible

Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
There are many reasons why someone becomes homeless. CCHP offers
anyone
with a little time and compassion
a way to offer practical support
to the local homeless
community.
Many of our homeless guests face
dNiculties
that include addiction,
poor mental and physical
health, debt
problems
and exposure to abuse including
domestic violence. For some,
English is not their first language,
and some, who have no access to
public funds, have limited housing
options available to them.
The CCHP model is simple —to provide a warm welcome, a hot cooked
meal and aclean, warm bed in asafe 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 tothe other. Guests
and volunteers
talk over.a meal, sharing as much oras little as they want,
without expectation
or agenda. These conversations —often banter,
sometimes
touching
or profound —can be a catalyst for change.
CCHP is clear about the role it plays within the homeless sector and does
not offer counselling
ortherapy. Rather we signpost guests to appropriate
services, such as those offered by Winter Comfort, CGL Drug ft Alcohol
Service or to their GP. AII 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 of our guests, CCHP provides
vital information
for other
services and contributes
tothe 'Inform' database
used by the city's
homeless sector and provides
anonymous
data forthe national
winter
night shelter network and the MHCLG.
Unfortunately,
since the start of the 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,
in 2021-22 CCHP provided
essential
support
in the form ofmeals, volunteer
hosts and funding
for
the central winter shelter Jun by ItTakes a City and Cambridge
City
Council at Crossways,
This will continue
in 2022-23.
Furthermore,
there remained
homeless
people with no recourse to public
funds (NRPFs) who were ineligible for local authority
support
and those
who were for various reasons,
often ofpersonal safety, unable to use the
local authority
provision. For these people, the charity was able to
continue to provide support
in the form ofemergency
accommodation
in
hotels or bed and breakfast accommodation
and, for three individuals,
continuing
accommodation
after the winter shelter closed in shared
houses.
In addition,
itwas able to provide short-term
emergency
accommodation
forthose 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 as Chaplain to the homeless
community
in Cambridge.

resources to enable her to undertake
her vital role.
