Since the 31st March 2023, the CHCT has commenced operations and has funded ten relevant charities. The plan is to fund 8-10 such chartties per annum, some of which will be funded on a repeat basis. The charitieslCICs supported to date are as follows- BACO BACO {(BLrcks Association for the Care of Offenders) helps prisoners serving senten￿S in prisons in Buckinghamshire by meeting and advising them, and by supporting them with small financial grants. Cardinal Hume Centre The Cardinal Hume Centre. located in Westminster, helps people facing poverty and the threat of homelessness with support. It also provides immigration and asylum advice.
