Committed to improving lives
MRCT is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of disabled and socially
disadvantaged people.
Our key aim is the inclusion of all people, irrespective of social status,
ability,
disability, ethnic grouping or religious belief in society. It is all too easy to write off someone
because they may not be socially acceptable or fit into the general conception
of how someone should look or act.
The Michael Roberts Charitable Trust (MRCT) has been established to help and support
people who are often perceived as being disadvantaged. Disadvantaged through either disability or social
difficulties.
We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to improve themselves and
achieve. Very soon we discover that it is not always possible. People
should be treated equally and have the same opportunities and
encouragement in life to help them develop as an individual and reach their full
potential.
Helping hands
Over the years we have seen MRCT make a difference in people's lives. With our team of staff and volunteers we provide opportunities which ENABLE
people needing support to get a helping hand to personally improve and develop
as individuals. This is achieved by empowering them by providing
voluntary work and social opportunities where they can work and meet in a
relaxed environment, enabling them to socialise, learn and develop.
Based in Harlow, MRCT has established the Maybury Centres, developed programs
of support for homeless and vulnerably housed people and organised special projects
in association with disABLED people. MRCT is also working in
Poland and Ghana providing funding and support with community-based projects for
children and adults with a wide range of disabilites.
Core Values
We believe that every individual has the ABILITY to contribute
to society in a positive and practical way.
Some people require special individual attention and support,
places to go where they can feel accepted. Meeting with people who have a desire
to help and assist them.
No matter how extreme an individual's circumstances may be, with support, their
lives can be enhanced.
As a
Christian-based organisation our
aims and objectives are to develop voluntary work and social opportunities and seek to
meet the needs of vulnerable people, particularly those with learning and / or physical
disabilities.
The charity
seeks to involve people with a disABILITY in all aspects of its work, promoting
the value and significance of each person as an individual, encouraging them to
take an active role in decision-making and future service planning. It
also provides opportunities which will ENABLE them to serve their local
community in positive and practical ways.
