LCF CARE
Care is everyone’s responsibility
CARE STARTS WITH THE PEOPLE CLOSEST - looking after each other is at the heart of community.
COMMUNITY IS: THOSE WHO KNOW AND LOVE US
A support network helps us to:
grow spiritually
cope with life’s challenges
stay on track
Our Community Leaders lead the way as part of our pastoral network:
We aim to put a community around those who are not actively involved in one of our small community groups.
We also have a safety net of care volunteers as a back up to our small community leaders.
With acute and urgent issues escalated to senior leadership.
For individuals with more complex needs we signpost as appropriate.
If you are interested in being a care team volunteer, please sign up here
Please let us know if you :
Need a Food bag?
Are having a baby?
Have recently been diagnosed with a severe illness?
Have just had an operation?
Are grieving the loss of an immediate family member?
Request further help?
Want prayer?
Raise a safeguarding concern?

Supporting our Community
Be cautious when accepting work
to be done in your home.
A good tradesperson is hard to find and we shouldn’t just trust a person simply because we know them from the church. We don’t want anyone to find themselves in a difficult situation and recommend that you:
Don’t accept for a person to carry out work (for free or paid for) without first taking up references from a trusted source (you can also use www.checkatrade.com).
Don’t handover money before work is completed.
Don’t give anyone your debit card.
It is advisable to obtain 3 quotes before deciding who to instruct to ensure that they have been quoted a reasonable price for the work. Useful links:
