CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY ACTION MINISTRIES

CCAM is a local charity which demonstrates God's love by meeting people's practical needs and restoring self-worth. This is achieved by: the redistribution of furniture, bedding and household goods to those in need; providing support and a listening ear to those needing to be heard and by providing work placements for those seeking a way back into the community and the workplace.
