Home - Barnwood Trust

Barnwood Trust is a charitable foundation dedicated to creating the potential in Gloucestershire for people with disabilities and mental health challenges to make the most of their lives.

We are working to harness the strengths and potential of a growing network of partners across Gloucestershire as part of Unlocking Opportunities, our ten-year plan. This includes people with disabilities and mental health challenges, voluntary and community sector organisations and the public sector – all working together across conventional boundaries to enable people with disabilities and mental health challenges to take charge of their own lives and develop opportunities to help themselves, and others.

This website tells you more about the work of the Trust and our exciting plans for the future. We hope you’ll find it an interesting read.
