Joy Project Worcestershire

A free, confidential service for women

JOY Provides:
• A safe environment
• Group support & signposting
• Volunteering & mentoring
• Friendships
• Independent growth
• Access to learn new skills

As individuals, we all have our own journey, JOY is here to help you with this, through structured & group support, meetings, drop-ins, training, mentoring & courses.

We can help you to achieve goals, make friendships & gain new skills & confidence along the way.

JOY is a women & female identifying-only community project which provides support to enable women to access new skills, enhance confidence, resilience & re-empower them to make their own informed choices & decisions. We are currently facilitating JOY Sessions in Malvern, Droitwich, Worcester, Bromsgrove, Redditch & Kidderminster, which has been a really exciting opportunity to spread JOY across the county!

Each woman’s journey will be unique & specifically tailored to their own abilities & needs, supporting them to gain access in volunteering, mentoring & acquiring a variety of skills.

Worcester Community Trust is an independent charity creating a big impact in & around Worcester. It manages six community hubs in the heart of neighbourhoods  all with a wealth of skills and experience but challenged by disadvantage & inequalities. We deliver a wide range of services, including JOY & DAWN projects which make a difference to the daily lives of people in our communities.

We will bring women together in a safe environment to improve self-confidence, resilience & develop peer groups who support each other. We have a wide variety of programmes which are constantly evolving, changing & we undertake lots of partnership work. Our courses are aimed to develop skill, increase confidence, grow independence & help achieve dreams, friendships & a positive future.
