ABOUT US
Worcester Community Trust is a registered charity that runs six community hubs in the city of Worcester providing crucial facilities for community use, activities and services that empower people of all ages.
We aim to be at the centre of thriving communities and for our hubs to be central to community activity to achieve our vision:
Worcester: A city where people feel connected, supported and empowered.
Through our projects, we deliver a wide range of services that make a difference to the daily lives of people in our communities including the socially isolated, the lonely, victims of domestic abuse and the wider community.
OUR HISTORY

OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES
