Objectives

Melin Community Trust is open to all members in the community. We actively engage with members of the Melin community and surrounding areas through our services and initiatives, which encourage community development and cohesiveness. Moreover, we build on the strengths of our community members to enhance community well being through active participation, volunteering, engagement and empowerment. Our work is vital in ensuring that the community is unified and that individuals take ownership of combating the issues faced by the community.
