What we hear from the volunteers:

We as a Charity

CCP was originally founded in 1989 by a local businessman in response to the growing number of homeless young people in Cheltenham. Recognising that people as young as 16 were sleeping rough around town after having thrown out of their family home he purchased a building and opened a 10-bed hostel.

We have grown a lot since then and now aim to transform the lives of children young people families and vulnerable adults by preventing homelessness strengthening families and promoting independence. With a head office in Cheltenham we currently employ 220 staff backed up by a team of 160 volunteers delivering services and projects in Gloucestershire Worcestershire Herefordshire South Gloucestershire Bristol Wiltshire and Dorset.

Together WE can make a difference
