Working for your community
As a community-focused charity, our work focuses on building partnerships with local people and organisations to run a wide range of programmes, activities and courses – providing local people with the positive experiences and opportunities that they deserve.
Our Impact
2024 saw the CCT celebrate 20 years working in the community. Take a look at our growth and achievements in Our 20 year history
Social Value at the Heart of the Community
From January to September 2023 Dr Magali Peyrefitte of Brunel University, joined our team as our academic In residence. During this time Dr Magali conducted research into the contribution made by the CCT to the social value in Colindale and the Grahame Park Estate. Check out the findings.
Health and Wellbeing Programme
In 2017, we received funding from Notting Hill Genesis to carry out a Health and Wellbeing programme that would look to develop provisions for a more comprehensive network of activities and opportunities to support the health and wellbeing of the local community.
You can view our 2017/19 report here:
“Before joining our services, 26.67% of participants (12 people) reported feeling lonely and isolated. After taking part in our activities and support, none of the 45 people who completed the survey said they still felt this way—showing the positive impact of connection, community, and engagement.”
“Investments in our Life Chances work at CCT are directed towards creating social value: addressing needs or improving conditions of the communities we represent. The basic level calculation of the social return on investment (SROI) for these 45 participants engaged in CCT’s Health and Wellbeing Programme is valued at £1,071,338.”
“These local groups have truly been a lifeline for me, first while caring for my husband during his illness and especially since his passing two years ago. The kindness, friendship, and support I’ve found here mean so much, and I make the effort to join an activity nearly every day.” (Female, 65+)
