Our Sussex disability charity – The Bevern Trust – ensures that people with profound disabilities can live truly active and fulfilling lives, in a home where they can feel safe, are loved and are offered compassionate care. The Bevern Trust — started with a care home founded by parents, from Sussex, in 1999. This movement was in response to concerns at the lack of facilities for young people with complex needs. It aimed to provide a home for young people for as long as they choose to live there. The Trust was formed by two parents groups who worked together and combined their resources. The parent groups continue their work in their locality, within Sussex, and Trustees are appointed with a particular focus and responsibility for their local project. With a Christian ethos we were founded by and uphold Christian values that demonstrate that everyone has the right to live their life in abundance. Now we provide 24 hour care for 11 people who live with us full time.

Story

My daughter Chloe loves her life at Bevernview. Such a wonderful home! I'm fundraising for all the residents there for a new wheelchair accessible minibus to enable residents to have adventure, opportunities for activities & trips out to experience more from life and have fun!

I enjoy swimming but I've never taken part in an event or swam in a cold lake & certainly not attempted 2 miles! This is a real challenge for me before I turn 70 next year! I'm very nervous but so keen to help "The Bevern Trust" purchase the minibus they need.

Your support in sponsoring my 2 mile swim in Hyde Park on Sept 16th will so spur me on and be so appreciated £5/£10/whatever will help me reach my target!
