HOMECARE
In 1996 SORAG’s research in community lives, highlighted that a large proportion of the Somali community were elderly disabled and needed some kind of care in their homes. With this in mind, the Management Committee decided to provide homecare for the elderly and disabled members of the community, and so SORAG Carers and Special Needs Project was commissioned by Greenwich Social Services. Today SORAG Carers and Special Needs Project provides a homecare service to all communities, eg Asians, Africans, Arabs and the English speaking community providing a homecare services for 21 inner and outer London Boroughs.
