Today I met with Rob, CEO of CHESS, the homeless charity working in Chelmsford & beyond. We met in Nero's & whilst grabbing a Blip he was photo-bombed by a gentleman from the table behind ours. He and his wife were delightful, and funny, and engaging, and very young at heart ..... so great fun!

CHESS is wonderfully creative, ambitious and practical in it's care for the homeless in Chelmsford & whilst the big picture for vulnerable people is depressingly bleak, the hope brought by folks like those who work at CHESS is remarkably bright.

It's always good to meet up with Rob ...... and folks from the wider community!
