The CATH Way – Transformation Through Education

CATH currently operates a learning and resource centre for people who find themselves homeless, have a history of homelessness, or who feel marginalised from mainstream society due to a lack of education or realisable opportunity.
CATH operates shared houses with support which are located within the local Chester community. The accommodation allows those with a history of homelessness to resettle back into the community supported by the CATH staff team.

Welfare Benefits

If you are subject to a benefit sanction, or, need access to a PC to help you negotiate benefit processes – we can help. The Harold Tomlins Centre has a number of PC’s that can be used by almost anybody experiencing benefit difficulties. You will be given a warm welcome and offered some initial advice to set you on the right path to overcome your issues.

Call the Centre on 01244 409 158

We can help those in crisis with food donations. CATH is a signatory partner of the Chester Food Bank sited in the Wesley Methodist Centre in St John’s Street.
