C&C's 95th birthday

2021 marks 95 years since Cecil Homes was set up by Ada Chesterton. After voluntarily spending two weeks on London’s streets experiencing the life of London’s most vulnerable people, Mrs Chesterton started the charity as a means to provide support to London’s homeless women.

In 1993, Cecil Homes’ merger with Central London Housing Trust created Central and Cecil (C&C).

C&C is planning to celebrate our 95th anniversary in 2021. This includes a special fundraising project to install sensory gardens in our care homes, articles on C&C’s history, and interviews with residents.
