The GL11 Community Project was launched on New Year’s Day 2002 by a group of interested parties representing a broad spectrum of relevant skills and experience and a wide cross–section of the local community. Thus, from its inception, the Project has been led by a broad based and strong management team comprised largely of local residents.
It is our philosophy that everyone should feel welcome to the Project and, recognising that issues such as depression, loneliness, domestic violence and a need for new skills arise regardless of household income, the Project aims to offer services to all socio-economic groups. As our name implies, we limit our activities to the GL11 postcode area and it is this combination of total inclusiveness within a finite geographical area which makes the Project unique.
The project is a registered charity and, as such, a non-profit making organisation. We have a formal constitution and are run by an elected management committee.
The Project’s core belief is that providing services and activities for residents via a welcoming, friendly environment will help in the advancement of local education, the integration of the community as a whole, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, personal distress and financial hardship.
