Supporting Rough Sleepers and People Affected by Homelessness and Exclusion
About
our charity
Connect Community Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting rough sleepers and people affected by homelessness, exclusion, and crisis in rural Somerset.
Built on years of trusted community work, we exist to provide stability, dignity, and real opportunities for individuals facing some of the toughest challenges in life.
Our Ethos
Connect Community Trust is not a specifically Christian charity. However, it was founded by a small team of Christians who felt called to serve their community through this work.
Our staff, volunteers, supporters, and service users come from a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs. We are committed to providing support in a way that is inclusive, respectful, and non-discriminatory. Everyone is welcome, and our services are open to all.
We work alongside a wide range of organisations, support services, and professional partners to provide the best possible help for those who use our services. Most of these partnerships are with organisations that have no religious basis.
While faith is never a requirement or expectation for anyone who engages with Connect Community Trust, we are happy to support individuals who wish to explore questions of faith and can signpost them to appropriate support if they choose to do so.
Our work is motivated by compassion, community, and a desire to see people flourish.
