Fairness and Equality

Melbourne Project

The Melbourne Project based on the Melbourne Estate in Chelmsford, aims to support and empower local residents and encourage young people to reach their full potential in life.

Working with volunteers, the project provides a wide range of activities including a homework club for children, a meeting group for elderly residents to encourage socialising and building friendships, and a summer holiday activity week for children living on the Estate.

Regular support from one of our funds enables delivery of a cookery programme for parents and children which encourages healthy eating.  Food is prepared from recipes that can be easily recreated at home, alongside learning about food nutrition and healthy eating.
