Volunteer Training Course

Do you want to respond to homelessness confidently, compassionately and effectively?

CCHP’s new educational course, commissioned by the Church of England Commissioners and created in collaboration with Ridley Hall theological college, can help you.

Each module of the course introduces a new topic relating to volunteering alongside the homeless community. The topic is commented on by 3-5 people with experience of homelessness and an expert guest speaker working in the area.
