Christchurch Support Kabin

 

Formerly Christchurch Soup Kitchen

Established in 2000

“Truly I tell you; whatever you do for the least of these, you do to me”

We are a diverse group of individuals, whose collective heart is to serve and make a difference.

​

We try to make life a little more bearable for those locally who need us.

​

As well as providing free hot nutritious meals we offer clothing, hygiene essentials and a wash and swap service for sleeping bags for those who are homeless. We work with and signpost to other agencies and organisations for continued support in specific areas of need. We also run sessions for people to help with applying to the housing register as well as other sessions as required.

 

We also work with other community groups by providing a safe community hub space.

​

Meeting people ‘where they’re at’, accepting them ‘for who they are’ and offering a listening ear’ is an integral part to the hope of future change. Trust is built over time, and with the dedication, commitment and genuine care our team provides, this is something we have had the privilege of experiencing.

​

Through our various lives and work roles we bring a multitude of experiences that enable us to help or signpost those we support. Many of the volunteers have been involved with support services, soup kitchens, drug/alcohol services, homeless organisations, housing organisations, the court, social services, supporting offenders move away from crime, mental health services, legal services and other relevant organisations, giving us additional insight into some of the needs of people who may be going through a challenging time.

​

CSK has full public liability insurance, top 5 star ratings from Environmental Health and all of the people who cook for our service users have level 2 food safety certificates accompanied by mandatory allergen training.

£5 A Month

We are asking if people could donate by setting up a standing order for £5 a month. If 100 people did this we would have an additional £500 a month coming in to support what we do. 

​

Of course, we understand some people prefer to make a one-off donation, for which we are also very grateful. Thank you.

We are a registered charity and get no statutory funding, so rely solely on the incredible support of the community.

"Most people never really sat down and got to know a homeless person, but every homeless person is just a real person that was created by God and it is the same kind of different as us; they just have a different story."
