Help the homeless in Essex stay 'Warm for Winter'

As the weather turns colder, we believe everyone in Essex should be able to keep warm this winter. This is why EssexLive is launching the campaign Warm for Winter to support CHESS, a homeless charity in the county.

The charity is already doing brilliant work to support rough sleepers but they urgently need tents, sleeping bags, hats, scarves and more as the weather gets colder. Just one of these items can make a huge difference to someone facing another cold night on the streets.

Katrina Chilver, editor of EssexLive, said: "The stories we've heard from CHESS on the difficulties faced by rough sleepers in Essex is enough to make anyone who can reach deep into their pockets and make a donation. The smallest donation could make a huge difference to those facing a cold night this winter. Let's show how much Essex cares."

Please donate whatever you can to help Essex rough sleepers stay warm both on and off the streets this winter. All money raised will go directly to CHESS to enable them to keep supporting homeless people in Chelmsford. Find out more about the work they do here.
