Cirencester Housing for Young People

CHYP - Cirencester Housing for Young PeopleCirencester Housing for Young People (Chyp) is a small local charity that provides supported accommodation for vulnerable young people who find themselves homeless through no fault of their own.

We support single young people, aged between 16 and 25 years old, in Cirencester and the surrounding area.

Our aim is not just to offer these young people a roof over their heads but the care and support a family would normally provide. A way for them to learn how to look after themselves, gain confidence and live a more fulfilling life independently.

The Churn Project

The Churn Project CirencesterThe Churn Project has been supporting people across the community in Cirencester and nearby villages since 2001.

Our aims are to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing, particularly for those who are lonely, at a point of crisis or transition in their lives or experiencing poverty or mental health issues. We support over 1,500 people in our local community each year, focusing on older people, young families and those who are suffering from mental health, poor wellbeing and social isolation. Our vision is that all our residents are included and involved in their community, feel supported and valued and have the opportunity to achieve their potential.

We work with people to help find practical solutions to the issues they face. We offer a mix of one to one support and group activities, catering to different interests and needs. Many tell us that coming to The Churn Project improves their wellbeing and makes them feel less isolated.

We are proud of our relationships with the people we support and we listen, respond and help to bring about positive change.

Visit www.churnproject.org.uk for more information and how you can volunteer for us or support us.
