Corporate Partnership
Your business can help end homelessness and hunger in Mid Devon
When you partner with CHAT, you're not just supporting a charity – you're investing in your neighbours. Every family kept in their home, every person given hope, every food parcel delivered happens right here in Tiverton, Crediton, Cullompton and Uffculme.
Since 1995, CHAT has been the safety net for Mid Devon. We're here when people have nowhere else to turn.
The need is real – and it's local
Last year in Mid Devon:
2,200 emergency food packs given to families in crisis
5,500 people supported by CHAT services
1,000 people received expert advice on housing, debt and benefits
"The family went from a comfortable, secure situation to completely unstable overnight – which illustrates that homelessness can happen to anyone at any time."
– Natasha, CHAT client
