Welcare is the practical expression of the churches of Southwark Diocese concern for families and children

AS YOU KNOW we as a church family, support in Mission many organisations Worldwide, but did you realise we also support a group on our doorstep?
WELCARE is situated in Redhill, where they run a Children's Centre, where parents with children under five can access support and information.
Welcare provides support for families in times of crisis, helping them to develop coping strategies for the future. Families all experience times of pressure through health issues, financial problems, family conflict, transition through change. Providing practical help in emergencies, and with the warmth of a welcome, difficulties can be overcome before the problems become overwhelming.
Among other things, they run parenting courses, A Christmas Toy choosing day, arrange outings for the children to the Park, young parents' cookery and food Hygiene courses. Home visiting -- teaching playskills to parents and their children etc.
Among their needs are clothes for children up to seven years, plus school uniform up to 14 years.  Toys, NOT SOFT TOYS, Prams No Mattresses, Pushchairs, Highchairs and other nursery equipment and most importantly they ask for your Prayerful support.
