Fundraising Coffee Morning at The Good Shepherd 

In August 2025, CCHP co-created with our fabulous volunteers a fundraising coffee morning in aid of local homelessness day centre Wintercomfort.

A team of housed and unhoused volunteers prepared delicious selection of cakes, biscuits and cupcakes to share with the congregation after the usual Sunday morning service at The Church of the Good Shepherd.

A highlight for many people was the speech delivered by one volunteer, who helped listeners to empathise with people living through homelessness by sharing a short poem entitled “What if?”

As the cakes were served and enjoyed between 80 people, there was a friendly atmosphere of conversation, connection and community.

“I loved seeing the warmth shared between people who wouldn’t normally meet”

“Thank you for the chance to contribute today. It was so good to be part of something normal. I forgot I am homeless for one.”

Nearly £500 was raised at the coffee morning. Well done and a big thank you to all involved!
