Minstead Trust

Minstead Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales that supports neuro disabled people to build independent, fulfilling lives. Its work focuses on removing barriers, promoting wellbeing and helping people make informed choices. Support is personalised and includes help to live more independently at home, residential care at Minstead Lodge, and daytime activities where people can develop skills and friendships. The Trust also offers guidance for people planning their next steps after education, family carer information and representation, wellbeing support, and community groups.

Through work training and social businesses, Minstead Trust helps people gain experience and move towards employment. Its enterprises include Furzey Gardens, Hanger Farm, Minstead Lodge, Lily & Lime cafés and Real Jam & Chutney Co. The organisation also works to raise awareness of issues affecting neuro disabled people and shares stories from its community. Individuals and businesses can support its work by donating, fundraising, volunteering, giving regularly, leaving a gift in a will, or providing corporate support.
