BEVERN TRUST
WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE DO
The Bevern Trust is a Sussex disability charity, based in Barcombe, which runs Bevern View, a home for eleven young adults with profound and complex disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Rett Syndrome and degenerative
neurological conditions.
Our resident’s disabilities are so complex they need 24-hour care. Bevern View is a purpose built home equipped for the nine residents who are fully wheelchair bound and two residents
who have some limited mobility.
The Bevern Trust ensures that people with profound disabilities can live truly active and fulfilling lives, in an environment where they can feel safe, are loved, and are offered compassionate care.

Community Connections:
At the Bevern Trust, we’re always excited to explore new ways to engage with our local community. Providing outstanding care for our residents is the heart of everything we do, and your support is vital. We find immense value in building strong, lasting relationships with those in Barcombe and the surrounding towns and villages, local business partnerships, volunteers, and those with a heart for our home.
This year’s Scarecrow Competition in Barcombe has sparked incredible creativity among the villagers, inspiring them to craft fantastic characters with a Musicals theme. Natasha Kaplinsky, along with our residents, will be judging these brilliant creations on the High Street on 4th November at 2.30pm — come along and join the fun!
Our Artisan Christmas Fair is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season. Taking place on 30th November from 10.30am to 4pm at 19 Barcombe Village Hall, the market will feature beautiful, handcrafted gifts from talented local artisans, including HamseyBelle wreaths and potted bulbs, Sussex Lustreware pottery, Adele Scantlebury prints, Harriet Beauchamp jewellery, and many more!
Enjoy a mince pie or a slice of homemade cake while you shop, and don’t forget to enter our Christmas Hamper raffle. There’s something for everyone!

Why Sports Matter for
Profoundly Disabled People
For most of us, playing sports is a normal part of life. It's a chance to challenge ourselves physically, experience the thrill of competition, or simply enjoy the camaraderie of being part of a team. But for people with profound disabilities, these opportunities can often feel out of reach.
At The Bevern Trust, we work hard at breaking down those barriers. We're passionate about ensuring that our residents can participate in the everyday, normal activities that many of us take for granted. This includes the chance to participate in sporting activities and be part of the local community.
Thanks to the generosity of organisations like Sport England and local clubs such as the Lewes Rotary, we can provide a variety of sports experiences for our residents. From slalom skiing like JP to horse riding, and even roller skating, we open doors to a world of possibilities. Watching sports (like wrestling or cheering on a football team) also creates excitement and has a profound impact on confidence and wellbeing.
By supporting The Bevern Trust, you're helping us break down barriers and show that profoundly disabled people can experience the joy and benefits of sports. Imagine the smile on Ciaron's face as he speeds around the track, or the thrill Jonathan and Amy feel sailing across the water. These experiences matter
