About Us
Westlake United Church Trust (WUCT) is an NGO – not a church – established by 6 local churches with the vision of serving and uplifting the residents of Westlake Village.
We support the community through education, health and wellness programmes, community outreach, and access to resources and support that serves children, youth, seniors and families. By creating opportunities for learning, personal growth, and social support, WUCT helps build a more hopeful and sustainable future for the community.
Every person is treated equally, irrespective of race, origin, status, or age.

OUR COMMUNITY
Situated in the heart of Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, the Westlake community is strategically located near major business hubs, transport routes, neighbouring affluent estates, and thriving commercial developments.
Despite this, many families face the daily realities of poverty, unemployment, and overcrowded living conditions, with nearly 20,000 residents living in a combination of low-cost housing and informal structures.
