Our Beacon residents recently enjoyed another fantastic session of Bingo! There were plenty of laughs and very happy winners collecting their prizes.

Big thank you to our wonderful volunteer Janet for helping make it such an enjoyable time for everyone, as always.

It’s the simple, everyday moments of conversation and connection that make such a difference. Our wonderful Support Worker, Amy, putting her braiding skills to good use while catching up with a resident. ❤️

We’re so grateful for the support from our local community and look forward to seeing everyone there on Saturday. Every donation makes a real difference to our residents. Thank you! 🙏

Forum Housing Association will be joining us at the Little Sutton Artisan Market on Saturday 19th September 2026, where they’ll have a stall to promote their work and hopefully receive support from the wider community.

Forum Housing provides short‑term supported accommodation across Wirral, Cheshire and Warrington for young people and adults who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

If you’re able to help, they would really appreciate donations of new towels and toiletries, similar to what we usually collect for them at Christmas.

Please note: this event replaces our usual Christmas collection.

Proceeds from the refreshments in the church hall during the Artisan Market will also be donated to Forum Housing.

If you can’t attend the market but would still like to donate (gifts or cash), you can drop items off at the Parish Office from Tuesday 15th to Friday 18th September, 9.30am–12.30pm.

Thank you for supporting this vital local work.

Our residents from Curzon House recently enjoyed a fantastic day at Chester Zoo’s Nature Reserve, with a wonderful mix of nature, mindfulness, creativity and fun!

Alex started the day by talking them through what the Nature Reserve does, followed by a quick spot of mindfulness to help everyone slow down and take in their surroundings.

Their first formal activity was exploring the Reserve and seeing how many critters they could spot and identify. They then got creative with some wild art inspired by the amazing work of Andy Goldsworthy.

To finish the day, they helped to build some bug hotels, creating a welcoming home for some of the Reserve’s smallest visitors.

The day was fantastic from start to finish, and it was brilliant to see the residents getting involved, trying new things and enjoying the great outdoors.

Huge thank you to the amazing team at Chester Zoo for making the day so special and Dr Kylie Daniels at St Werburghs GP, who has worked so hard to make all of this possible.

Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome TPAS Chair Alison Inman to Forum for a valuable discussion about engagement and the challenges facing supported housing.

Showcasing the range of services we deliver across a number of local authorities highlighted the huge variety of supported housing models currently operating across the sector.

One thing was clear from our discussions: We are not all the same, and the diversity of approaches across the sector reflects the different needs of the people and communities we support.

A really useful and thought provoking conversation, with plenty to take forward.

Pies with Purpose!

Our Chester projects regularly work in partnership with Soul Kitchen Chester, a fantastic local charity providing food and support to people experiencing homelessness.

Our residents really enjoy take part in their Soul in a Bowl cooking sessions, gaining valuable skills and qualifications. The success of Soul in a Bowl has led to Second Bite, an initiative that has spent the past year producing packaged shortbread to raise funds across Cheshire. Now, they’ve taken things one step further… pies! 🥧

Second Bite has been commissioned to produce pies for the Tranmere Supporters Club, giving our residents the chance to develop their skills and gain real experience. The first game of the season was a huge success, the pies sold out! If you’re heading to a Tranmere Rovers fixture this season, why not grab a pie and support Pies with Purpose?

Soul Kitchen does so much for our residents, and we’re proud to support them too. ❤️

Multi-Agency Outreach in Northwich.

Our Forum Outreach Team recently carried out a targeted outreach patrol in Northwich alongside Northwich Police, Community Safety Officers and colleagues from Cheshire West and Chester Council.

The team engaged with people experiencing rough sleeping, offering advice and support, exploring accommodation options and making sure people know where they can access essential services.

With high temperatures across the UK, the team also handed out water and sun cream, while offering advice on staying cool, seeking shade and keeping hydrated.

Working together, we can help ensure people know that support is available and where to find it. 💙

We’re so proud of our Links resident for successfully completing her Nail Art Course with The King’s Trust! It’s great to see her developing new skills in an area she enjoys and taking steps towards her future career.

At Forum, we support our residents to find training opportunities in areas that interest them, helping them build the skills, confidence and experience they need to work towards employment.

Last week, Lindsey, our Chester Accommodation and Outreach Manager, joined Paul Fielder, City Centre Manager for Communities and Engagement, to visit local businesses across Chester.

They shared information on reporting rough sleeping, the role of the Outreach Team, and local organisations that can offer food, support and essential services.

Working together to help connect people sleeping rough with the right support.
