What we do

We help change conditions for disabled people and people with mental health conditions in Gloucestershire.

Our goals are that disabled people and people with mental health conditions across Gloucestershire…

  • … have choice of opportunities that meet their hopes and passions
  • … are included and involved in their communities and the places where they live
  • … access their rights and see positive change on disability issues

We make these changes happen in three ways:

Barnwood Trust acts primarily as an agent of social change, working alongside disabled people and people with mental health conditions to change conditions impacting on them, using both the Trust’s financial and people resources to support that social change.  Our goals are delivered through a programme of funding, listening and learning, and changing conditions.

This reads We do this: 'Listening and learning, funding and changing conditions', and as a result, 'people have choice of opportunities, people are included where they live, people access their rights' so that 'Gloucestershire will be a better place when disabled people and people with mental health conditions are equal, empowered and their rights upheld'.
