One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring
We had lots of information today about up-coming community events and local charity initiatives that need support.
Chess Homeless have the urgent need for a few hours from a fluent Russian speaker to help address the need of a client. If that is you, please phone 01245 281 104 or contact via the website. administration@chesshomeless.org
You can now register on the CHESS website for this sponsored event.
Every Wednesday in the layby in front of the library in Chelmsford food, hot meals and clothes and a listening ear are available to those in need. Three types of bags of essential items are also provided.
Breakfast bags, Hygiene bags and Tea & Coffee bags. 20 – 25 bags are given out each week, around 100 a month. Each breakfast bag contains 7 breakfast bars, 2 packs of biscuits, 1 juice, 2 chocolate bars, 2 dried fruit, sweets and 1 polos. These are just an example of some of the items needed. And of course carrier bags are needed.
