More than just education
Community support
Community is at heart of everything that we do here at the Learning Community Trust.
Supporting our community
Community at the heart of everything we do.
The Learning Community Trust is committed to support the communities which the trust and our academies serve. Community collaboration is ingrained into the way we work, but we understand we must go further to support our students, their families, and the community.
Below are some of the initiatives the Learning Community Trust supports:
Community Fridge @ Wrekin View
Wrekin View Community Fridge, supporting the community of Wellington, was established during lockdown by our estates manager, the motto being ‘take what you want, donate if you can’. The hub have grown significantly, and we are now working with the Step Into Work programme to provide work placements in the hub for adults with specific needs. The community fridge project also helps people with gas and electric payments, runs a community café at Christmas providing presents and Christmas dinner, and provides furniture, carpets and beds to families in need.
