Our History

Welfare Assistance / Emergency Relief….
We can offer assistance at times when you need it most, by helping you to overcome your financial burdens.
If you are struggling to make ends meet, and would benefit from assistance, please book a welfare appointment with our case worker.
We are able to offer basic food and toiletry packages and vouchers, by assessment.
Appointments are available Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 3pm and can be made in person by dropping into our onsite office, or by phoning us on 03 63 943471

Friendship & Support
Please feel free to call in anytime for a free cuppa and a chat.
Our desire is that no one in our community feels lonely.
We would love to connect with you.

The words I think best describe The Caring Network are Community, Companionship, Warmth, Friendship and most of all… ACCEPTANCE!
I have always been accepted just as I am by the friendly people at the Network and don’t know how I would have survived the struggles and trials of the past few years without the Network’s support and friendship.
