Christian CARE is a charity working in the London Borough of Merton, committed to the relief of poverty within this borough. We are a group of 60 volunteers, many from churches of different denominations across Merton, who want to show care and concern for our neighbours as Jesus did. We are supported by churches, schools, women’s groups and many individuals in the Borough and across the UK. We welcome and offer help to anyone whatever their race, colour or religion. Each year we support around 100 families whose lives are in crisis.

Breaking ground
Friday 16th October

This afternoon we headed to help Christian Care Merton to tackle an overgrown garden area. After hacking away a dense tangle of stubborn brambles, we set to work with spades and forks, digging to unearth buried brick, cement, and rocks in an attempt to clear the debris and begin flattening the space to prepare it for the next stage of transformation.
It was proper hard graft, and this project is definitely going to need a return visit or two - along with plenty more muscle! A huge well done and thank you to the hardy volunteers who answered the last-minute call-out. We will be back soon with hopefully a few more helpers.
