Thank you Dudley CVS – we came along to help you celebrate your 50th Birthday and left with an award.
Last night CHADD were recognised with the prestigious Abrahams Lindsay Longevity Award for our contribution to providing a safety net and lifeline through all our services over 45 years. For all our staff teams, supporters, volunteers and partners this award is for you!
CHADD was started in 1979 by a local vicar and a probation officer as a response to increasing levels of homelessness, poverty and domestic violence, to meet the gaps in local provision and to house those who were on the edges of society.
We started both the first ever Women’s Refuge for domestic abuse in Dudley borough and the first homelessness service.
Thank you again Dudley CVS, we may be 5 years younger than you but we’re delighted to have been on this journey together! Oh and we love your 70s themed 50th Birthday.
