Cheltenham Housing Aid Centre
We are a small independent charity in Cheltenham providing housing advice to people in need.
A massive thank you to the newly formed CHAC steering group who met for the first time today at Cambray Baptist Church in Cheltenham. ![]()

The group are all former users of CHAC’s service and will help shape and influence our future. A big thanks must also go to Wayne our loyal volunteer for his contribution and to Sue for her excellent note taking skills. ![]()

The group will be meeting again soon and have already come up with lots of ideas moving forward. Thanks to our hosts Rebecca and all at Cambray – the coffee was excellent! Watch this space to see the group progress and develop. What a fun day! 😀
We attended an event with the theme of 'Inspiring Volunteer Management'. Lots of good practice and tips were shared by Emma from Go Volunteer Glos. Thank you for hosting such an informative event. 😀
Our advice worker Mary Apperly took a day out from advice work to visit Housing Matters in Bristol. ![]()

Staff at Cheltenham Housing Aid Centre have been reflecting on the impact we make despite being such a small charity. We asked housing advice worker Mary Apperly to tell us whey she enjoys working for Cheltenham Housing Aid Centre:![]()

'I have worked for Cheltenham Housing Aid Centre for over 25 years. I really enjoy my job and know that everyday will be different and bring both rewards and challenges. As both a manager and a housing advice worker I love the flexibility it gives me, I’m able to wear lots of different 'hats' and this helps to keep me motivated. I have seen many changes over the years working for a small charity but one big challenge that remains is the lack of long-term funding available for organisations such at Cheltenham Housing Aid Centre. I am so proud to work for such a “hands on” charity that makes a real difference to people’s lives – long may it continue.' 😀![]()
