Our Community Cares

Our Community Cares solutions (OCC) has been running since 2013, serving people of all faiths and cultures living in Newham. We provide support for vulnerable and isolated people experiencing hardship, loneliness and domestic abuse. We also provide advice and community welfare programmes as well as activities to engage and uplift both the young and the old.

We run a twice weekly food bank and food club in Canning Town and Plaistow as well as providing food and nutritional assistance to family. Additionally we provide Coffee mornings, educational courses, street and park parties and healthy cooking courses.

Community Cohesion

We bring people together because we believe a problem shared is a problem halved and a room full of friends can sometimes make the problem go away altogether.

Volunteer

Caring and sharing your time and energy with such a wonderful community as ours is a blessing and a privilege. Our volunteers tell us how much they get from giving. Come along and see if you feel the same.

Donate

If we ran on love we'd run forever but unfortunately they don't take that at the bank so we need money to keep going. Whatever you can donate will be sure to go towards helping our most vulnerable friends and neighbours. 

Events

When we can we like to have fun. It lifts the spirits and salves the soul. We fundraise to give community members the respite they need from a world of stress. Stay in touch so we can let you know what we're doing and when.

Use our services

Our doors are open to everyone. We're here for you no matter who you are. If you are hungry visit our foodbank, if you need counselling to help you find a way forward we're here. Just drop in.

A BIG THANK YOU

We’d like to say a big thank you to the National Lottery community fund for providing us with the money to keep OCC going and allowing us to care more for our community. The trip to Southend, the Science Museum and the craft activity would not have been possible without their funding. Also, thanks to the community fund we now have a small office space on Freemasons Road for us to organise our work in, for a while.
