2. Objects
2.1. The objects for which CARE is established are to relieve in cases of need, hardship or
distress, eligible persons (subject to the conditions in Paragraph 2.2) who are resident in the
area of or adjacent to the district of East Grinstead in the County of Sussex and Lingfield in
the County of Surrey or such enlarged area as the Annual General Meeting may determine,
by the provision of such voluntary care and work as may be charitable and in furtherance of
these objects but not otherwise, the organisation shall have the following powers:-
(a) to provide help in the home to those who through age or infirmity are unable fully
to support themselves. Such help may include companionship, gardening and
similar practical activities;
(b) to provide transport so that eligible people who otherwise would be unable to get
out to do their own shopping, collect prescriptions, visit hospitals, clinics, surgeries,
visit a friend or relative in a hospital or care/nursing home, or who have other basic
needs may do so without feeling a burden on their immediate neighbours;
(c) to undertake visiting/befriending in the clients home;
(d) to assist and complement other voluntary charitable and state organisations when
requested and to give assistance without hindering such organisations or taking
away the primary objective for which they have been established;
(e) to raise funds and to invite and receive contributions from any person or persons
whatsoever by way of subscriptions and otherwise provided that the organisation
shall not undertake permanent trading activities in raising funds for its objectives;
(f) subject to such consents as may be required by law to sell, let or mortgage, dispose
of or turn to account all or any of the property or assets of the organisation and to
invest such property, money, assets, securities, shares or other investments as the
Committee from time to time shall in their absolute discretion determine;
(g) to do all such other things as shall further the charitable objects of the organisation
and as may be lawful.
2.2. Regrettably, for legal and/or health & safety reasons, the following persons will not be
