Ewloe-based house builder Anwyl cooks up support for Soul Kitchen

Ewloe-based Anwyl Homes has donated £1,000 to charity Soul Kitchen Chester which provides support for those who are homeless or in poverty. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The homebuilder has given £750 towards support packages of food, clothing and toiletries for individuals and families across Cheshire West. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A further £250 was donated by Anwyl to assist the charity in providing Christmas dinners for those in temporary accommodation over the festive period. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The £1,000 donation is one of several grants distributed by Anwyl from its ‘Love from Anwyl’ funding pot to help local not-for-profit organisations close to its development at Deva Green, Chester. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Soul Kitchen Chester provides food and support for people who are homeless or suffering from poverty, including a Saturday drop-in session in Boughton and weekly ‘Soul in a Bowl’ cookery classes. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Helen Anthony, Chair of Soul Kitchen Chester in Boughton, said: “We’re very grateful to Anwyl for this support. ” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“As well as providing warm food and drinks at our drop-in sessions, we host various activities and offer a listening ear to find out what people need to move forward with their lives.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We don’t have any paid staff and rely on the support of our dedicated team of volunteers to run activities, fundraise and help with administration.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We also work with partners across Cheshire to help people access a range of services including housing, mental health, addiction recovery, financial support, employment and legal assistance.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Graeme Gibb, sales director for Anwyl Cheshire and North Wales, said: “The volunteers at Soul Kitchen Chester offer a vital service supporting people facing hardship across Chester and the surrounding areas.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Not only do they meet people’s practical needs by providing hot food, showers and care packages, they provide friendship and emotional support in a welcoming environment.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We are very proud to have been able to support them through our Love from Anwyl fund.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
