CARE — CARE – CARE (North East Lincolnshire), Grimsby

SUPPORT, DIGNITY AND COMMUNITY
IN NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE

For over 30 years, CARE - Christian Action & Resource Enterprise - has worked in the heart of Grimsby and Cleethorpes to support individuals and families through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Our mission is to reach out with love and care to those most in need in the top 1% most deprived areas of the UK. Unemployment, domestic violence, drug and alcohol use, homelessness, and crime are high, and many local people feel abandoned with nowhere to turn. Often, they are referred to us when no other organisation can help.
We are finding that their needs are greater than ever before, with people requiring intensive support, kindness and relationship to overcome the trauma of their past and rebuild their lives.

CARE runs various projects including an innovative housing programme, crisis drop-in, long-term intensive support, food pantry, and a furniture recycling project. Our Crisis Support Team gives holistic, practical support, as well as finding housing. We help people struggling with the most complex needs, including poverty, homelessness, debt, disability, illness, domestic abuse, isolation amongst older people, victims of crime, and those in mental health crisis. Many of our staff and volunteers have lived experience of crisis and homelessness, which helps build relationships and trust.

"I couldn't have done it without CARE. I didn't even know where to begin.
CARE gave me strength when I had none left. Now my daughter and I can move forward without fear."
