Sleeping Rough in Chester

Passionateaboutchester 

 

 recently met up with some street Angels in the city.

They roam the streets of Chester looking for homeless people or "rough sleepers" and bring them to a shelter.

They explained to me that they encourage them to come along to the shelter located across from the Grosvenor Museum. There they can have a night stay and a shower.

They can also get advice and information on possibilities available to them.

There are possibilities for those interested in turning their lives around. Admittedly , not always as easy as it sounds... There are organizations here that are willing to help.
