Supporting people and communities to thrive and flourish!

TCT Mission Statement:
Our mission is to partner with others, seeking the common good, working for justice as people of hope, so that communities may flourish and those who are vulnerable, isolated, and disadvantaged might enjoy life in its fullness
Our goal:
Our goal is to empower churches and other faith groups, individuals, groups and communities to respond effectively to the issues of poverty and social justice that they encounter.
Our work is all about supporting people and communities to thrive and flourish. This ethos begins with our staff, who are by far our most important assests. One of the ways we support and nuture them, as they fulfil their vocations to reach out and make a difference, is by being a proud Living Wage employer!
We're proud to be a Living Wage employer!
Empowerment
Times are hard for people and communities. We work to empower individuals and groups to practically make a difference.
We actively partner with a wide range of churches, other faith groups, charities and civic society to improve lives and empower community-building.
Our work helps to build up people and communities by:
* Encouraging the voice of those affected to be heard
* Empowering individuals and groups to practically make a difference.
* Focusing on people’s skills and talents
* Celebrating what is good
Our work takes an Asset Based approach in four main areas:
- Social and Financial Inclusion
- Health And Wellbeing
- Community Cohesion
- Developing Work
Our values
We have four key values that guide all of our work:
- Listening: This is the most import place to start. Enabling people to be heard is at the heart of our work. We believe that residents have to best ideas in knowledge to enable their communities to flourish.
- Partnership: This is key to everyone thriving and flourishing, as no one person or organisation has all the answers and resources.
- Celebrating: Excellent things are happening in communities and we can be a voice to magnify this!
- Empowering: People want to be part of making the change happen, so we can provide training and encouragement, advice and support to encourage this to happen!
