Harwich Connexions Community Trust was established in 2006 as a charity, registered number 1122740, to provide buildings, space and opportunities in the Harwich area to benefit the community.

​

Since its formation the Trust has worked with funding partners and end user organisations to rescue assets in the town that continue to provide accommodation for small business users, children and community organisations. 

Working in partnership with EEDA and local authorities Harwich Connexions implemented an improvement programme to benefit the town, including benches, playground equipment, a new seafront shelter, and repairs to the Cliff Park band stand.The Trust continues to work in partnership to enhance town services. We raise funds for the Harwich community bus service, as well as supporting the work of other local community organisations in the Harwich area.

​

Health  During the Covid years we worked with partners on local initiatives to support vulnerable people.The Harwich and District Fellowship for the Sick legacy fund enables Harwich Connexions to continue three valued local health initiatives: the Harwich Hospital Hopper service, the provision of public defibrillators in the Harwich area and the annual 'Harwich CHAPS' prostate cancer screening sessions .​***

Tourism Harwich Connexions has been active in town tourism and was instrumental in bringing the annual charitable Motor Cycle Run to Harwich, which became a major fund raiser for the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and a significant tourism event for the town.
