Thank You for Supporting the Eldonian Community Trust
At the Eldonian Community Trust, we believe that real, lasting change begins with the people it affects most. With your support, we continue our mission to build a thriving and sustainable community rooted in the proud history of the Eldonian Village.
Your generosity and involvement enable us to empower residents, collaborate with local businesses, and champion social and environmental initiatives that improve the quality of life for all. We are grateful for every contribution, whether through time, resources, or advocacy, as each plays a crucial role in making a difference.
Our New Charitable Aims
Community-Centred Growth: We actively involve residents in shaping the trust’s future through consultations and local initiatives. By fostering a sense of ownership and pride, we ensure that community needs and aspirations are heard and valued.
Supporting Older Residents: We are dedicated to creating an environment where older residents can live with dignity, independence, and strong social connections. Through targeted support and engagement, we ensure they feel valued and included in community life.
Empowering Young People: We create opportunities for young people to develop skills, confidence, and leadership abilities. Through education, recreation, and mentoring initiatives, we help them reach their full potential and become active contributors to the community.
Advocating for Housing Needs: We work closely with local authorities, housing providers, and community partners to ensure residents can access safe, suitable, and affordable housing. We provide guidance and advocacy to help residents navigate housing challenges and refer them to statutory agencies when required.
