Our Community Pantry has been running since June 2019, and currently is open two days a week - Wednesday and Thursday 10am-4pm.
We are looking for volunteers who are able to commit to supporting our Pantry, either on a regular or ad hoc basis.
We Place the Safety of our Clients, Staff, Students, and Volunteers first:
This means we require an application form to be completed, interview, induction training and Enhanced DBS vetting and references.
CCP was originally founded in 1989 by a local businessman in response to the growing number of homeless young people in Cheltenham. Recognising that people as young as 16 were sleeping rough around the town after having been thrown out of their family home, he purchased a building and opened a 10-bed hostel.
We have grown a lot since then and now aim to transform the lives of children, young people, families, and vulnerable adults by preventing homelessness, strengthening families and promoting independence. With a head office in Cheltenham, we currently employ over 250 staff, backed up by a team of over 150 volunteers, currently delivering services and projects in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, and Dorset.
We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all.
Our robust Safeguarding Policy guides our recruitment process.
