Charities in Chelmsford

Are you on the lookout for local charities to help, either by donating, sponsorship or voluntary work? The J’s Hospice – East of England’s first ‘age appropriate’ hospice home care services for 18 to 40 year olds with life limiting conditions - is one of Chelmsford’s most active charities working to raise money to continue with their current services as well as the development of an ‘in-patient’ facility.

Local charities benefit from our efforts to bring to the attention of local Chelmsford businesses the type of work they do and the type of assistance they need. We are working with over 300 local groups. Many local businesses grant their employees the opportunity to volunteer for good causes while on work time. We call this "GET" Giving Employee Time. Whatever help can be given and in what quantities it is always of value in making a difference to Chelmsford people in need.
