What is Caring Hands? Where are we? We are based in a local church - The Vale of Evesham Christian Centre, where the adninsitration centre is and where we organise the cooked lunches we provide twice a week for anyone who needs them. Who are we? We are a group of people who want to serve those in need in our town.  We are mostly members of local churches, but welcome help from anyone who wishes to be involved. Helping those in need A Helping Hand   It is all about giving support, encouragement and practical help to those who need it, without all the red tape that often makes it so hard to access the official sources of help. Caring Hands is an organisation within the church that continually seeks to help relieve poverty and need in the Vale of Evesham. Those referred to us receive food parcels, toiletry packs, bedding, clothing, sleeping bags and blankets free of charge depending on their circumstances. People can also receive a free hot meal twice a week at the Caring Hands Diner. Referrals include people on low incomes, in severe debt and have benefit issues, single parent families, ex-offenders, families of offenders, homeless / rough sleepers, people with addiction problems and mental health problems and also in crisis situations such as illness, injury, relationship breakdown and bereavement. Caring Hands operates through the Church and networks with many community organisations.
