Giving to the Local Community
The Addiscombe Neighbourhood Care Association ('ANCA') is a voluntary organisation providing practical help, advice, support and community activities to the people of Addiscombe. ANCA was launched in the 1960s by the Addiscombe Group of Churches as an expression of their care in the community. ANCA provides practical help, advice, support and community activities using the valuable help of volunteers. The services offered include transport for health related appointments, visiting and befriending, a lunch club, carer's support, "Extend" exercise classes, a shopping bus service, social events and a great number of "odd jobs". Many of the services are directed towards older people or those with disabilities, but ANCA also assists young families and single parents - anyone wherever possible.
It also provides information and acts as a signposting service. Directing people to other appropriate statutory and voluntary services is another important aspect of its work.
