A massive thank you to Hertfordshire Community Foundation for their funding to CHEXS during this difficult time.
CHEXS are now working in partnership with the Foodbank and Holdbrook primary school to further support our community during the current crisis.
The coming months will compound our existing communities needs.
These issues are going to have a huge impact on our wellbeing for months and years after this current crisis has passed.
The additional funding we have been kindly awarded will enable CHEXS to increase our resources, enabling us to do everything within our networks, resources and know-how to be here to help both during and after this crisis passes.

Fundraising for CHEXS
A HUGE thank you to Lee for the amazing fundraising work you did for us at the Cambridge marathon last month dressed as a dinosaur.
He raised a whopping £856.75 for CHEXS
This fantastic fundraising money will be going toward the charities amazing work such as Food bank deliveries, Family support and remote mentoring sessions during the Covid-19 crisis.
If anyone would like to donate to CHEXS, no matter how large or small it would be very much appreciated (and can be done through our Facebook page very easily) – this is an incredibly tough time for all charities and your donations can make a real difference.
Thank you.
Karen our Outreach worker
It is with sadness that we announce that our Outreach worker Karen has left CHEXS due to personal circumstances. Karen has been awe-inspiring with the work she has done during her time with CHEXS, firstly as a volunteer, then as an employee.
Karen will always be part of the ‘CHEXS family’ and there will always be a warm welcome for her, she is held in such high regard by colleagues, the families that you worked with on a daily basis, and the Trustees for the Charity. We are all exceptionally grateful for all that you have done as an inspirational member of the CHEXS team.
It goes without saying that we wish Karen all the very best for the future.
Karen’s ‘The Craft Room’ CHEXS Fundraiser
A HUGE thank you to Karen for setting up a fantastic fundraiser for CHEXS. She has been painting rocks for the community to hide locally since lockdown began and is now asking for donations to CHEXS.
She has already raised £115 for us – thank you so much Karen and the local community for your kind donations and support at this difficult time.
To join the fun go to The Craft Room.
