ALDI TAUNTON - CHIP LANE

1 in 6 people in the UK will spend at least one night homeless. But we know that, given the right help, even the most vulnerable in our society can recover from the issues that have resulted in their homelessness. Every year, as a result of our support, hundreds of people are able to take on and maintain their own tenancies and become valuable members of our communities.

To provide information, advice, support & services of the highest standard to those experiencing severe mental illness, their families & carers, in areas such as housing, education & training, rehabilitation & employment and recreation. to spread understanding about severe mental illness. to campaign nationally & locally for high quality care, including both acute & long-term services. In Somerset we provide supported accommodation to individuals with varying degree of mental health issues. People that use are service tend to come to us having previously been homeless and are not set up on the benefits system correctly so have no income. We provide support to better peoples skills so they are better prepared for living independently in the future. We would benefit from donations that would contribute towards our planned cooking groups where we teach our tenants to live healthier lifestyles on a budget.

We are a locally volunteer run Community Fridge - we reduce waste by collecting food from local shops and putting them in the fridge daily for the residents to collect and use.
