Chester Aid To the Homeless -CATH aims to provide care, shelter, advice and support to single homeless people in the Chester area by providing high standard accommodation with qualified and trained staff. Services will be provided without discrimination and will be developed, along with statutory and voluntary agencies, to meet the needs of individual homeless people.

Founded in 1972, we aim to cater for the needs and rights of men who are homeless or those who are in very poor quality accommodation.

We operate a Day Centre, and six units of accommodation providing over 50 bed spaces and are helping over 500 people each year. CATH is totally dependent on grants and donations, and is grateful for the financial support of a large number of local individuals, organisations and statutory bodies.

CATH also requires financial support and this how you can help:

- Fund Raise
- Donate Money

It is possible to organise an event yourself and donate the funds raised to CATH, or if you have an idea to fund raise and want to progress it further, but are at a loss how to, contact us and we will put your idea(s) to our dedicated fundraising team to help you progress the ideas through to the event itself.

The Inland Revenue has made it more attractive for tax payers to give donations to charities. As a registered charity we are able to claim back 28% of the amount donated.

Financial support can be given in many hassle free ways; one of donation, regular monthly, quarterly or annual donations. Donations can be sent through the postal system or directly transferred from bank accounts.

CATH's staff and existing volunteers are very proud of what they have achieved, especially when the limited resources are taken into consideration. There is always more that we need to do, but can't - simply because we do not have enough money.
