CCP Feeding our community.
CCP Hot meal scheme
April 24th saw the launch of the CCP’s latest initiative to support the most vulnerable in our community during the Covid-19 crisis – delivering a hot, nutritious meal twice a week to those individuals and families who struggle to provide it for themselves. Financed by the charity, meals are prepared by volunteer chefs Chris & Glenys Brown and delivered by CCP volunteer drivers.
With referrals from several of our schools and other community organisations, including the Food Bank, People’s Pantry, and those working with older isolated individuals, demand has doubled in less than a week. This week sees the addition of a second hub in Highcliffe with food prepared by Rachel Hills of Skylight Kitchens.
CCP Chair Rev Sandra Prudom said, “We hadn’t realised how much of a demand there is out there, particularly amongst some of our families who are struggling having lost jobs through Covid-19 and with the additional pressure of having children at home 24/7. We have been touched by how much folk appreciate this provision and we are committed to providing it for as long as it is needed.”
The CCP has also received generous support from local charities, Rotary, and Round Table, as well as the Clingan, Primrose, and Mary Magdalen Trusts, to fund a number of new projects it is running whilst normal services are suspended. These include working closely with the schools to provide additional financial support to the most vulnerable families, and funding activity packs for children most in need, amongst other initiatives.

Easter Gifting.
Local company 4Com and the CCP did their bit to lift people’s spirits during the coronavirus lockdown by delivering East eggs or flowers to CCP clients and volunteers that are self isolating.
With a generous donation provided by 4Com who also support CCP Christchurch Angels clients through the year with a Summer Cream Tea and a Christmas Lunch, CCP volunteers armed with eggs and flowers delivered them to 100 of those who are not able to get out even for exercise or shopping. Volunteers maintained the appropriate social distancing – even using a fishing net to do so!
The CCP is supporting its own clients, and others referred through other agencies with a weekly telephone check in, shopping and picking up medication through the current crisis whilst their normal services: Dial a Bus, Neighbour Cars, Christchurch Angels, and Helpful Neighbours are suspended.
CCP Chair Sandra Prudom said – our volunteers are doing an amazing job out in the community supporting those who are isolated and vulnerable, as are so many other organisations. It is great to see the community working so well together, at this challenging time.
