CHICHESTER HEART FOR HOMELESS
We work with churches of different denominations to serve homeless people in the city of Chichester. We do this by providing hot meals in church premises, with an emphasis on welcome and hospitality. We have employed an outreach worker and trained volunteers. We work with other charitable and statutory agencies to help direct people who are homeless to appropriate sources of support.
