Avon Valley Partnership Youth and Community Trust

Avon Valley Community Matters is a charity set up by Church members from the Avon Valley Benefice to help reach those in our communities who need it most. We run a popular Friendship Group for the lonely and bereaved as well as funding Bereavement and Miscarriage Support. We also run an inclusive Mother and Toddler group, Picnics Together and free Holiday Activities programmes to help entertain and feed local children and families. We also support the AVC pastoral care team.

AVCM has recently opened a very successful Charity Shop on Fordingbridge High Street which helps fund our community projects and support those in need of valuable retail experience. Our shop supports local Foodbank, Salvation Army and Homeless charities.
