02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
ViewCare Project is a non-profit service established by the Church in May 2016. The project is run by Church volunteers (from Viewpark Parish Church and other local churches) and one part time member of staff. The project provides an innovative approach to tackling poverty issues for those in need by providing a 'one-stop' shop approach. The Church has placed great emphasis on our mission of supporting people who are struggling, within North and South Lanarkshire, in any way we can and our service is fully utilised by multiple agencies across both council areas and individuals/families from our local area. We provide help for adults, children & pets. Many of those supported display a combination of significant challenges, including those experiencing homelessness, money management issues, health problems, and unemployment and also often have experienced difficulty in accessing mainstream support.
