Support for CHAT – the Tiverton based Churches Housing Action Trust – can take many forms. Groceries for use by their clients, both housed and homeless; volunteering in a number of roles; regular giving through their Giver of Hope scheme, and specific money raising activities – all this, of course, covered with prayer.

Members of St Mary’s have be collecting in a different way during January .  They undertook to place an amount of money in a CHAT jar each time they sat down to a main meal. The jars were returned on 29 January – Homelessness Sunday. While not all monies have been counted it’s expected that some £450 will have been raised.  With the aid of localgiving.com that can provide ‘match funding' means CHAT will receive in the region of £900.

 Further details about the services CHAT can provide, together with ways of supporting them, can be found in St Mary’s Church Hall or at www.chatmid.org
