Every Step Matters

Give Monthly. Support a Journey

Donate monthly to change lives.

The reasons people become homeless are many, varied and often complex. The journey away from homelessness is rarely straightforward, and everyone’s experience is different.

At Soul Kitchen Chester, we support people every step of the way — starting with immediate needs such as food, clothing and toiletries, and continuing to build confidence, skills and opportunities for a different future.

It starts with a meal. It can lead to so much more.

Our weekly Drop In provides a welcoming place to access essential support and build relationships. From there, people can take part in our Soul in a Bowl cookery sessions, developing confidence, practical skills and teamwork.

For some, this can lead to volunteering, training, employment and opportunities through our Second Bite social enterprise.

Your regular gift helps us be there for every step of that journey.

£5

a month could provide hot meals and essential toiletries.

£10

a month could help provide ingredients for a cookery session.

Why regular giving matters

A regular donation gives us the confidence to plan ahead and continue providing support throughout the year.

It means we can be there not just when someone needs a meal, but when they’re ready to take their next step.

Small monthly gifts. Big difference.

Your support can help someone move from simply getting through the day to believing that a different future is possible.

Become a regular supporter today.

Every journey is different.
We’ll be there for every step.

How your support helps people out of homelessness

Saturday Drop In

We open a weekly drop-in every Saturday evening at Campbell Hall, Boughton, where we provide hot food and drinks, clothing, shower facilities and, most importantly, the support and conversation that people need.

 

Soul in a Bowl

We provide cooking sessions for those experiencing homelessness or who are in temporary accommodation. These sessions improve self-esteem, self-confidence, and enable us to build relationships to better offer support to those who attend.

 

Second Bite

Graduates from our Soul in a Bowl empowerment sessions who have achieved their Level 2 food hygiene certificates and who have shown reliability join our Second Bite team, baking ‘shortbread with soul’ that will help to provide training and employment for somebody who is or has been homeless.

About Your Donations

Where and How They Are Used

Soul Kitchen Chester provides food and support to those experiencing homelessness and food poverty across Chester and the surrounding areas.

Your donations will support people affected by homelessness through our various programs, which support people to develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and further skills to support them in moving into employment and into a life off the streets.

To enable people to move away from life on the streets

To build relationships and trust through the sharing meals in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.

To provide activities to improve peoples mental and physical health, and to offer a distraction from the negative influences and boredom of life on the streets.

To support people with often chaotic lifestyles to attend appointments and to get professional support in place.

To support people when they move off the street and into their own property.
