CommuniCare is a team of Christians motivated by their faith to help people in Reading meet their complete needs through offering information, advice and support. We seek to do this by always acting in the best interests of the people we help, working with people not issues, empowering people in their situation and thereby building independance. Building on our strengths, being flexible in our approach and linking people to communities where appropriate.
