Our Community Cares

Since 2013, Our Community Cares Solutions (OCC) has been supporting individuals and families across Newham, working with people of all faiths, cultures and backgrounds to build a stronger, healthier and more connected community.

We understand that life can present challenges that leave people feeling vulnerable, isolated or uncertain about where to turn for help. Whether someone is experiencing financial hardship, food insecurity, loneliness, domestic abuse or difficulties accessing support, OCC is committed to offering practical assistance, guidance and a welcoming community where everyone is treated with dignity, compassion and respect.

Our work goes beyond providing immediate help. We aim to empower individuals, strengthen families, promote wellbeing and create opportunities for people of all ages to learn, connect and thrive. Through our food support services, community welfare programmes, educational activities, health and wellbeing initiatives and partnerships with local organisations, we work to make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of the people we serve.

At OCC, we believe that everyone deserves support, opportunity, connection and a place to belong.

 

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, 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.
