Cirencester Housing for Young People
Cirencester
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 is a grassroots
Cirencester charity. Our aim is to reduce isolation and exclusion and open up opportunities. We focus on the
most vulnerable people in our community; older people, young families and
unemployed people.
We listen to everyone who comes through our door and reach out to people in the community. For more than ten years we have been providing services that people have asked for. Our small team achieves this with the support of hundreds of volunteers.
We are funded through a mixture of donations, grants and contracts. We make our money go a long way without compromising on quality. We provide all our services free or at a very low cost and make the most of partnerships with local people and organisations. From older people's drop in groups to computer courses for the unemployed, from jewellery making to blacksmithing we have it all covered! You might be surprised to find out all that we do.
We are non judgemental and approachable.
If you would like to find out more about what we do please pop in and have a chat to the staff at the Churn Centre at:
