Trafford Hall

The National Communities Resource Centre (Trafford Hall) is a registered charity offering training and support to all those living and working in low-income areas throughout the United Kingdom to develop their skills, confidence and capacity to tackle problems and reverse poorconditions.

With over ten years experience of providing training and support to people in low-income communities across the country, Trafford Hall has developed its successful Training First model and provides small seed funding grants, to enable community groups to have a practical and positive impact on their local community, after they have been to Trafford Hall.

All courses are residential and aim to bring people together to share ideas and experiences, learn new skills and increase levels of confidence. The courses, designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of families, young people and adults are regularly evaluated to make sure they are achieving the charity's aims.
