Our proud history
Now a registered charity, Care Network was founded in the 1970s by Sheila Stephenson, who recognised the need to provide support for people within her local community, ranging from getting people to and from medical appointments or shops, to establishing interest groups and social activities. This volunteer-run scheme grew and In 1986 became a registered charity, with a variety of services being provided across the county to support people to live independently, and stay connected with their community.
The passion and commitment of our team, combined with an army of dedicated local volunteers, means that we are truly embedded within communities across the districts of the county. We will always continue to work in this manner as it has repeatedly proven to be the most effective way to help and support local people. We are aware that for many, a lot of uncertainty lies around the future of access to health and social care services and we are committed to try and fill these gaps, supporting our service users along every step of their own personal journeys.
