Shirley Community Trust
We build community in Shirley through projects and events that give opportunities for people to interact, form relationships, share experiences and develop capacity and resilience.
Empowering People, Changing Lives

Shirley Community Trust is for everyone in Shirley, providing spaces to connect, contribute, have fun and belong. People can meet at our Community Centres or our Community Garden, and join in with a wide range of activities … or just sit and chat with others.
For over 20 years the Trust has aimed to support all who work, live and play in Shirley, together growing community. We are privileged to be a part of this wonderful journey.
