02 Activities

What the charity does

Care is a charitable organisation set up in 1988 by a group of local churches to help people in East Grinstead and Lingfield as a 'good neighbour'. Care assists in a variety of ways, with shopping or collecting prescriptions or something a bit heavier, such as moving a piece of furniture. Most requests are for transport, for those who are unable to get help in other ways.
