Service at a Glance

StatusOn Hold
Partnership InformationJOY Project is one of 9 projects Worcester Community Trust runs. Every woman who comes into the project has access to all other projects in the trust or can engage with them independently. We may also refer into one of WCTs other teams, for support with energy & welfare, wellbeing job coaches as well as the partnerships we have with external agencies to support activities, courses and informal information sessions. These agencies vary and change regularly depending on the courses they or we offer. We aim to provide a wide range of opportunities through this joined up way of operating.

After eight years of operation, the JOY Project will be coming to an end on 31st December 2025 due to the conclusion of our funding.

Please note: the DAWN Project is intermittently accepting direct referrals.

JOY works closely with the DAWN Project a sister project of Worcester Community Trust. DAWN work directly with women who are currently in domestic abuse situations, or have a history of domestic abuse. JOY supports women who have left abusive relationships and offers women support and courses to re-empower, raise resilience and provide tools and practical courses and signposting to support living independently. JOY courses include DIY, Mindfulness, Becoming Self, Moodmasters, Writing courses, Drama, Cooking on a budget and many others. We also work with partners to support benefit, energy and welfare, wellbeing job coaching and offer opportunities to volunteer and skills and training signposting, along with many other activities to raise self esteem and confidence.
