Tackling Homelessness Together

Chelmsford based charity supporting rough sleepers

Cool to be Kind is a charity supporting Chelmsford’s homeless community through several initiatives:

  • Warm Hearts Cold Hands Outreach – providing direct support on the streets
  • StreetSupport Chelmsford – an online directory linking individuals with local services
  • Rucksack Project – an annual campaign collecting essential winter items for rough sleepers

We adopt a housing-first approach, focusing on securing stable housing as the critical first step in helping individuals rebuild their lives.
