Welcome

Living in a beautiful Cotswold town like Tetbury has its advantages—stunning countryside, a strong sense of community, and a wonderful place to call home. But we also know that rural life comes with challenges. Limited public transport, fewer support services, and the risk of social isolation can make it harder for young people and residents to access the support they need.

While Tetbury is often seen as an affluent town, this perceived wealth can mask the real deprivation experienced by many families. There are very few low-cost services for young people, and the wealth gap can leave some feeling disconnected, with lower aspirations for their future. Tetbury also has a thriving food bank, a stark reminder that not everyone in our town has the same opportunities.

That’s where we come in.

At Tetbury Area Youth & Community Trust (TAYCT), we’re dedicated to creating safe, welcoming spaces where young people and the wider community can connect, grow, and feel supported. From youth clubs, mentoring, and wellbeing projects to our Friendship Café, we work to bring people together, combat isolation, and provide opportunities for all.

But we want to do even more. Our vision is to create a community hub, offering a space where people of all ages can come together—whether that’s for a coffee and a chat, or simply a place to feel part of something.

Enjoy exploring our website and seeing what we get up to.

The TAYCT team.
