Caritas is the new social action and social justice agency of the Diocese of Shrewsbury which seeks to develop the Church’s social mission in the years ahead.
Caritas actually means ‘Christian love of humankind’ and we express this in loving service. This is the motivation at the heart of all the work we do here at Caritas Shrewsbury.
We encompass the work of the former Catholic Children’s Society, and with the invaluable support from the diocesan-wide ‘Our Mission Together’ initiative, we have also extended our portfolio to include; intergenerational work, young people at the risk of becoming homeless, accessible community hubs and work with those seeking refuge and asylum.
