Vallance Community Trust

The Vallance Community Trust (VCT) has evolved from participation and activity around recreational and sports activities. 
The provision of services to young people, ages of 8-25 and adults in all areas of London Borough Tower Hamlets and surrounding boroughs, with the aim to develop a rich multi-cultural membership, targeting those who are unemployed, underachieving or excluded from school, and those who are socially excluded.
To provide a diverse programme of sporting activities with the intention of giving, particularly disaffected, vulnerable young people a sense of purpose, identity and achievement.
To promote diversity, harmony and co-operation amongst all communities and groups of whatever race, creed, gender, age, sexual orientation and to foster shared interests and goals.
To create a physically stimulating environment, which will channel energy and relieve stress.
To enable young people to bridge the gaps between peer groups from different backgrounds, areas and cultures.
To promote better understanding, unity and harmony instead of strife.
To create a positive team spirit and identity in order to foster healthy competition rather than hostility and violence.
Through regular physical training, improved diet and abstention from substance abuse to improve overall health and an ongoing healthy lifestyle.
To provide positive role models and mentors to work with disaffected youths in order to encourage their access to other support services, in order to reduce the “risk” of involvement in drug use, criminal activities, and violent conflict with other similar groups.
