Service at a Glance

StatusLive
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. See current programmes for partner working.

The JOY Project facilitates lots of group activities to support all women who want to engage with the programme we offer termly. We do not have trained staff to support women after bereavement, or work one to one, however we offer a wide variety of opportunities to engage with other women in whatever activity the women of the project have requested. We consult with the JOY women about what they would like to see in the programme every term. We work closely with lots of other charities and agencies so we have a great signposting service when we are not able to provide a service including a local knowledge of bereavement services available in the area. From coming every week for a cuppa and cake to signing up to a 6 week course or being referred onto another course or skill training, we offer lots of opportunities to connect and reduce the impact of bereavement.
