BARNWOOD TRUST

Barnwood acts as an agent of social change, working alongside disabled people and people with mental health conditions to create that change in Gloucestershire. We listen and learn. We fund. We influence. We take what we listen and learn into our decisions about funding and the changes we want to influence, and we use funding to support the influencing work we do.
