About Christian Community Action
About This Shop
Christian Community Action is a local charity committed to helping local people who are in need. CCA’s core aim is to demonstrate God’s love, by meeting people’s practical needs and restoring self-worth.
CCA re-uses household goods and furniture for local people on limited means and surplus donations are sold in our charity shops to offer affordable goods to those in the local community. We currently have 4 charity shops in the following areas: Oxford Road, Southcote, Whitley and Sonning Common. Each shop has a support centre as part of the services that we offer to the local community.
Through our support centres people on benefits can access essential furniture items, emergency kitchen and bedding packs, emergency food provisions, support, a listening ear, and/or a referral to another specialist service. We have a weekly drop-in centre at Caversham Baptist Church, where clients are given a hot meal and CCA services are available. Our pre-used furniture store on Northumberland Road is open to the public and all the profits from this shop go back into CCA central funds to help us to continue to provide furniture for those in need.
