| 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. By undertaking to empioy the incumbent CCHP is providing physical and administrative resources to enable her to undertake her vital role. |
