Our History and Future

The original vision for this charity was prompted by Pete’s visit to Caring for Life in Leeds where he was able to observe the remarkable difference that compassionate care can make in the lives of vulnerable people.

 

In 2007 a small group began to meet together to pray, explore the possibilities and then to plan. Many of this group now form the board of Trustees and in 2012, Just Caring Midlands was brought to life as a registered charity.

 

We now have three members of staff and a dedicated team of volunteers who care for our beneficiaries.
