Collection Pots & Buckets
CHESS is only able to continue their work with the Homeless because people like you understand that Homelessness is a community issue that requires a community response! Whether you are an individual, business owner, or member of a church or other organisation, there are so many ways you can help us open doors for the homeless.
Our social audit last year estimated the total economic impact of the work to be 500%. That means that for every £1 put into the work of the charity, there was £5 of benefit to the community!
We have lots of collection tins looking for good homes so please support CHESS by collecting loose change. Every penny does make a real difference to vulnerable homeless adults that we support and you can use our collection tins at your school, business or event.
We also have donation buckets for larger events. We can make arrangements to drop off collection pots or buckets to you and then collect it once it is full. Please contact our Fundraising Team for more information: fundraising@chesshomeless.org or call 01245 281104.
Thank you for your support!
