Our Story

What does C Care do?

C Care is a leading front-line community organisation supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity and social isolation. Accelerated by a rapid growth in demand over the COVID-19 Pandemic, we now provide a full range of personalised services which are tailored to the unique needs of our recipients.

C Care’s bespoke service offerings provide entry level, culturally appropriate and easy to access resources for vulnerable members of our community, which are created and delivered by our predominantly volunteer workforce. We focus equally on fulfilling our recipient’s needs, as well as creating a strong sense of community for all stakeholders.
