For information about sailing times and

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
