CommuniCare

Who we are

We are a Christian led charity providing information, advice and support to anyone in need.  We aim to support people in understanding and navigating the everyday services that they need to access to enable them to live better lives. We deal with a large range of issues including benefits, form filling and housing advice. We work closely with both voluntary & statutory sector groups across Reading to provide the wrap around support our clients need.

Our culture and values

CommuniCare is a team of Christians motivated by their faith who care for and help people to meet their complete needs through offering information, advice and support. In particular, we look to help people who are in need, hardship or distress because of their social or economic circumstances.

We seek to do this by:

·        Treating all the people we help equally

·        Always acting in the best interests of the people we help

·        Working with people not issues, and establishing an appropriate relationship with each person

·        Empowering people in their situation and, thereby, building independence

·        Being flexible in our approach and extending our service to meet the needs of those in need

·        Linking people into community activities where appropriate

·        Building on our strengths as a team, demonstrating trust, patience and sensitivity to each other

·        Believing that each team member has a contribution to make

·        Encouraging a sense of community within our team

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

CommuniCare is committed to promoting equality, diversity, inclusion and dignity in all aspects of its work. We aim to create an environment in which all staff, volunteers, trustees, service users and partners are treated fairly and with respect.
