Friday Night Extra 29.3.19 with Rob Scaggs from CHESS



Great to welcome back Rob for an informative and entertaining chat about the on-going work of www. chesshomeless.org (01245 281104) He told us that the numbers of people being helped during the special winter part of the project this year has been more than ever. If you see a homeless person on the street, Rob asked us to remember that they are there because every relationship in their life has broken down. He said the first thing to do is talk to the person and give them human dignity. Through the Rough Sleeper alerts programme, the information about where there is a homeless person should be reported www.streetlink.org If the person is in Chelmsford, Maldon, Epping and soon also Braintree, they will be visited and offered help. CHESS have over 30 beds available, everyone in high quality accommodation. They will then work towards them being involved with social enterprise projects. www.wingspan.works www.poppyscoffee.co.uk Rob also told us about fundraising events, including a sleeper organised by a 10 year old girl. Lots of ideas and info is on their website.

We remembered the career of Scott Walker. The way it developed in later years is said to be like Andy Williams re-inventing himself as Stockhausen.
