Generous Funding supports CHTH in 2020 and 2021
January 2021
Chorley Help the Homeless were delighted to receive an incredibly generous donation of £4,000 from the Broughton Catholic Charitable Society in December 2019, and to have received a further £4,000 for a second year of funding in November 2020.
Chorley Help the Homeless has spent almost 25 years working with homeless and financially vulnerable people in the Borough of Chorley. By 2019 our small premises were in need of building improvement, new IT equipment, and funding to maintain our supplies of foods and goods. In 2020 life was made much harder for many people due to the pandemic, and Chorley Help the Homeless pledged to stay open during lockdowns to continue to support the community as much as possible.
Gill Ferris, manager at Chorley Help the Homeless said, "We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, and we have extended our work to those who have been badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic - especially families. Funding from the Broughton Catholic Charitable Society has enabled us to develop this work at a more sustainable level over the past year, and for the year ahead."
Chorley Help the Homeless chairperson Ken Phillips said, "We would like to sincerely thank Mr Peter Van Parys, Mr Chris Jenner, and the Broughton Catholic Charitable Society. We are very excited about the opportunities this will provide to further strengthen our very important work. Their very generous support will add considerably to the impact we will be able to have over the next few years. We will ensure that their support to us will help to improve the lives of those experiencing, or threatened with, homelessness in the Chorley area."
