We are Alt Valley Community Trust

Originally established as Croxteth Community Trust in 1988, Alt Valley Community Trust was founded following the successful occupation of a local comprehensive school to save it from council closure. The charity became Alt Valley Community Trust in 2005, and has since developed from an educational charity into an anchor organisation that makes a significant contribution to the local area, transforming sports centres, libraries, colleges, and community hubs.

Our range of services, resources, partners and experience has made AVCT an invaluable resource for the north east of the city.

With thanks to our partners

Without our partners we cannot succeed; they are vital to the formulation of our projects and their ultimate success.

Partnerships, old and new, are always being fostered and encouraged and we remain keen to explore how community-based projects can be created and funded through innovative working relationships, the likes of which we have always valued.
