CHYP was set up 22 years ago to help support young people between the age of 16 and 25 in the Cotswold area.  They offer these youngsters a lifeline:  a roof over their heads while they sort out their lives.   They come to CHYP for many reasons:  leaving care, family breakdown, abuse, no affordable accommodation for young people etc.   CHYP helps initally with budgeting, shopping, cooking, living with other people, help with education, training and/or work.  The aim is to finally help the youngster to live independently.  In the last 22 years they have helped over 400 young people and have accommodation in Cirencester for 17.  Most people stay between 6-18 months until they are ready to set up on their own with CHYP's support.  Apart from the three properties they manage in Cirencester,  CHYP has set up a charity shop at 20 The Waterloo where they sell donated funiture, electrical goods, books, DVD's, CD's videos, clothes, bedding and other household items.

 

If you think you can help in anyway with the dance (sponsorship, auction prizes, marquee decoration etc) please contact Dave Ranstead 810520 or Sally Francis 810228
