Established over 40 years ago

The Avenue Trust

Supporting housing for vulnerable adults and charitable Christian projects across Southend and Rochford for over 40 years.

Our Charitable Objectives

Established over four decades ago, The Avenue Trust exists to serve two distinct but complementary purposes — rooted in compassion and community.

Housing Support

A safe home is the foundation of a dignified life.

We provide grants to support housing for vulnerable and elderly adults across the Boroughs of Southend and Rochford — helping individuals and organisations create stable, secure living environments for those who need them most.

Christian Community Projects

Faith in action, serving our neighbours.

We support the work of charitable Christian projects operating within the Boroughs of Southend and Rochford — funding initiatives that serve the community, strengthen local churches, and express the values of compassion and service.
