EXTRAORDINARY
GENERAL MEETING
FUTURE OF CHRISTIAN CARE
Wednesday 25
March 2026
On Wednesday 25 March we will be holding an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of our Members to vote on a motion closing the existing charity Christian CARE Association (CCA) so that its assets and liabilities can be transferred to the new charity Christian CARE Merton (CCM). The reason for this goes back to 2023 when CCA decided to take on its first employee and was advised to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) rather than remain an unincorporated association. The CIO form of charity did not exist in 1995 when CCA was set up but is now the best option for charities like Christian CARE, not only ones with employees.
We hope that Members will agree with this decision – they have been told it was being planned at the last two Annual General Meetings with no objections being raised. When it happens, there will be small practical changes, apart from the slight name change, like a new bank account and new charity registration number. There will be no change to our day-to-day work and objectives. We will still work to alleviate poverty in the London Borough of Merton.

Complaints Procedure
The Christian Care Association is committed to providing the best possible service to all with whom it comes into contact - clients, supporters, volunteers and organisations. If any Christian CARE Association action or failure to act has had an adverse effect on you, you have a right to complain. Usually a word with the person concerned will suffice should a problem arise. However, we recognise that from time to time there may be occasions where clients, supporters, volunteers or organisations feel that the quality of service falls short of what they could reasonably expect. We want to know about these occasions so that we can resolve the problem and plan to avoid its repetition.
For complaints specifically related to a breach of data privacy, see our Privacy Policy.
