Organisation aims / mission / values
-
Ascension Community Trust helps the most vulnerable of our community in East London to live fuller lives. We work within the Ward of Custom House in Newham.
-
Our work supports families, the elderly and those with complex needs to learn new skills, find employment, step out of poverty and feel like valuable members of their community.
-
Our mission statement “enabling the whole community to make the community whole” means that we work with all members of our community and promote integration. Also that our work is holistic, we work with people not problems, supporting individuals to live fuller lives.
How we deliver these aims
We have four main strands through which our work is done: Children and families, poverty response, Ascension Seniors and the Garden Community Café. Through these we work with over 1,200 individuals a year. Much of our work is in partnership with other local organisations, schools, churches and charities. Our aims includes: The relief of poverty, hardship, loneliness and isolation; Support of physical and mental health and wellbeing; Community integration, advice and advocacy work; Education, training and employment support.
Who benefits from our work
Children and their families, the elderly, those facing poverty and those with complex needs.
