We are a charity dedicated to uplifting, empowering, and transforming the lives of people experiencing homelessness in and around Cirencester. Our work goes beyond providing basic essentials—we offer practical support such as food, clothing, and access to services, alongside emotional and well-being support tailored to each individual’s needs. We believe that everyone deserves dignity, stability, and the chance to rebuild their lives. Through trust, compassion, and consistent care, we aim to give those who engage with us a renewed sense of purpose, belonging, and hope for the future.

The Churn Project is a well-established community charity based in Cirencester, founded in 2001 to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing among local residents. We work with individuals of all ages who are experiencing loneliness, poverty, poor mental or physical health, or who are facing transition points in their lives. The Churn Project operates across three key service areas: Family Support ,Community Wellbeing and Ageing Well.

W4W is a community charity dedicated to improving wellbeing in rural areas, especially for those most in need. We listen, support, and connect people through warm spaces, inclusive activities, and our popular Talking Cafés—helping to reduce loneliness, isolation, and poor mental health. From older residents and carers to children and families, we work with local and national partners to bring services closer to home. Our expert staff and volunteers provide confidential support, including access to respite care, food and fuel vouchers, and digital help. By encouraging people to support one another, we’re building a more resilient and connected community.
