The Night Shelter is a Christian charity that offers support to our guests where ever they are in the cycle of change. We do this by putting our faith into action, sharing the abundance of God's love and provision by providing a warm place to sleep, support in accessing services, sorting and distributing charitable waste, opportunities to volunteers and gain work experience and help to access housing and make positive changes in their lives.

The Whitechapel Centre is the leading homeless and housing charity for the Liverpool region. We work with people who are sleeping rough, living in hostels or struggling to manage their accommodation. We are committed to helping people find and maintain a home and learn the life skills essential for independent living.

Our foodbank was founded in 2011 and we have more than 40 agencies that refer into people into our emergency food provision. We serve approximately 50 families/individuals per week by providing generous food parcels containing fresh, bakery, chilled , cupboard and long-life foods that encourage a healthy and varied diet. We utilise Neighbourly and Fareshare to offer a varied selection of food and to reduce food waste. Each person collecting from the foodbank can have a free meal from Cafe Connect where we give out our food parcels. We also provide free functional Maths and English courses at the learner's pace every Friday, again with a free hot sandwich and drink. This covers entry level to level 2 and includes examination fees and certification. As part of building resilience and community, we also offer free CAP Money Skills and Life Skills courses. These courses help with all areas of budgeting, energy, relationships, nutrition and wellbeing. We have a strong and positive impact on our community, are well established and well known. We seek to feed families and bring hope throughout the Chorley Borough.
