What We Do
Poole Communities Trust is a community led charity based in Poole, a large town on the Dorset coast. Whilst Poole is well known for its fabulous beaches and some successful businesses, there are also significant inequalities.
We help people to get active, keep learning and make friends. Learn more about us by visiting the About Us page or use one of the handy links below.
