Welcome to Christian CARE Merton

About us

Christian CARE is a charity working in the London Borough of Merton, committed to the relief of poverty within this borough. We are a group of 60 volunteers, many from churches of different denominations across Merton, who want to show care and concern for our neighbours as Jesus did. We are supported by churches, schools, women’s groups and many individuals in the Borough and across the UK. We welcome and offer help to anyone whatever their race, colour or religion. Each year we support around 100 families whose lives are in crisis.

Christians Against Poverty UK – (CAP)

Life Skills course starting Tuesday 3 November.

Running every Tuesday 12-2pm starting with a free lunch until our celebration on 15th December.

The course takes place at St. Mark’s Mitcham.

The course is completely free and includes a crèche for young children allowing their parents to join.

The course is for people on low income and is really fun. We learn about budgeting, savvy shopping, healthy eating, cooking on a budget and healthy relationships.

My favourite part is taste testing own brand vs brand name products and seeing if the cost difference is worth the extra cost.

If you’d like to join, please email jenny.clayton@christiancaremerton.org.uk

Complaints Procedure

The Christian Care Association is committed to providing the best possible service to all with whom it comes into contact - clients, supporters, volunteers and organisations. If any Christian CARE Association action or failure to act has had an adverse effect on you, you have a right to complain. Usually a word with the person concerned will suffice should a problem arise. However, we recognise that from time to time there may be occasions where clients, supporters, volunteers or organisations feel that the quality of service falls short of what they could reasonably expect. We want to know about these occasions so that we can resolve the problem and plan to avoid its repetition.
