Granby Toxteth Development Trust is the Community Anchor Organisation for the Toxteth neighbourhood and since our incorporation in 1994 our main aim has been to help improve the social and economic well-being of local residents and businesses and the wider Liverpool and Merseyside communities. We are independent, local and charitable. GTDT is: • A focus for services and activities meeting local need • A vehicle for local voices to be heard, needs to be identified and for local leaders and community groups to be supported • A platform for community development, promoting cohesion whilst respecting diversity • A home for the community sector which is supportive of the growth and development of community groups • A means of promoting community led enterprise, generating independent income whilst having a social, economic and environmental impact • A forum for dialogue within communities, creating community led solutions • A bridge between communities and the state which promotes and drives social change • A building, a physical space

New Beginnings - Improving Lives CIC run's a mixture of different services right across Liverpool. We run Men and Women Mental Health Boxing projects. A City wide Foodbank Delivery service for those who are in extreme poverty. Some of those referrals may be people who have been placed by the City council in accommodation without cooking facilities although we are not funded by the Council. We have recently opened up a Community store in Tuebrook in a very deprived area selling surplus and damaged goods and very low prices, we also offer other services here too like Computer and WIFI access.

We are a register charity, and we help with the relief of poverty among children and their families. The majority of families we support are struggling financially to make ends meet. We redistributes the surplus food we collects to families / individuals in need on Monday to Friday, but Tuesdays and Fridays are the main designated days for the food bank, whilst other days are for people with health issues. clothing, school uniforms / school supplies, small household goods, and toiletries redistribution days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We help low income families / individuals in need, refugees, asylum seeker, and homeless people. We occasionally provide home work club for children under 16 years of age, and also support with recreational activities through schools giving local families opportunities to access and be included in activities such as school trips, and visits to cultural sites, etc. We provide information, and signpost families / individuals to other service providers for individuals progression. We provide a range of recreational opportunities for local families, particularly those from low income backgrounds who otherwise would not be able to afford these opportunities.
