Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Homelessness Pledge

We are supporting Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Homelessness Pledge.

Their vision is that all residents and organisations within Cheshire West and Chester work together to prevent homelessness and ensure that no one is forced to sleep rough in the borough.

The Pledge can be signed by residents, businesses, public bodies, and charities to show their support and to support the following:

Residents

• Acknowledge that everyone deserves respect and somewhere to live.
• Support organisations tackling rough sleeping and homelessness.
• Contact forfutures’ Outreach Support Team if I/we believe someone is sleeping on the streets.
• Share this pledge on social media so others can learn about it too.
• Sign up to receive updates to learn more about work to tackle homelessness.

Businesses

We pledge to:

• Provide training and employment for people recovering from homelessness.
• Make preventing homelessness part of our corporate social responsibility.

Public bodies, charities, community and faith groups
