Worcester Community Trust runs 10 different projects across the City of Worcester and manages 6 community hubs including the Building Block in Warndon, working with those who need support improving health and wellbeing. Last year we provided opportunities and support to over 4500 people, enhancing skills, increasing confidence and bringing people together.

How fab are these!
A client on our Care Package Project, who we have been supporting through the lockdown, has made all these pairs of colourful socks with wool that we have supplied to her with in her care package.
She has used knitting as a way of supporting her mental health during lockdown but is now looking forward to getting some normality back.

As the lockdown restrictions start to ease its been great to see our Community Connectors out and about running small group walks along the riverside. An opportunity for participants to meet up with old and new friends, gain confidence in being outside again and generally feeling better for being out in the sunshine.
The Community Connectors project provides social activity sessions to support the socially isolated and those with low level stress and anxiety.
To find out more you can email connectors@worcestercommunitytrust.org.uk or call Paula on 07823 791613.
