Brandon Trust

Brandon Trust This is the official page of Brandon Trust. We provide individualised support to autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

We believe that everyone should be free to live their life the way they choose. In the UK today, there are 1.5 million people with learning disabilities. Despite significant developments in the last 20 years, people with learning disabilities are still restricted by many aspects of the modern world; less than 7% of them for example have a job. At Brandon Trust we're striving to change this. We ins

pire the people we support to set themselves free so they can reach for their dreams and be all they can be. We provide support and have a wealth of experience in working with people with complex needs whose behaviour sometimes challenges the environment in which they live, or with profound and multiple learning disabilities. In partnership with the people we support, we can shape the future for people with learning disabilities. We are striving to build a connected society through the following ambitions:

1. Ensuring people we support are connected in their community and wider society.

2. Encouraging and equipping more people we support to live in their own homes.

3. Ensuring that everyone with a learning disability has the right and the capacity to have their voice heard.

Leaving the family home is a big moment ๐Ÿ’›

Itโ€™s a step towards independence, but it can feel daunting without the right support.

At Brandon Trust, weโ€™re here to make that transition feel possible, not overwhelming. We support young people to explore different housing options, whether thatโ€™s a shared home or a place of their own, helping build confidence every step of the way.

Because everyone deserves to feel at home ๐Ÿก

It was great to welcome Alex McIntyre MP to our Quedgeley services and introduce him to some of the brilliant people we support and the colleagues who make our work possible.

Conversations like this help shine a light on the experiences of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, as well as the realities facing the social care sector.

I recently had a lovely visit to Brandon Trust in Quedgeley, to meet with some of their staff and the great people they support. Brandon Trust play a vital role in the local community, supporting people with learning disabilities and autism. We discussed some of the challenges facing the care sector and disabled people, as well as chatting all things Doctor Who and Harry Potter.

Jordan has achieved a really special personal milestone - going to a festival, something heโ€™s dreamed of for years. At the end of April, he made it happen and headed to Rattler Fest at Healeys Cyder Farm ๐ŸŽถ

With the right encouragement and support from his team, Jordan took the lead: booking his own tickets, planning the day, and stepping into the experience with confidence. And what a success it turned out to be. From the music to the atmosphere, he embraced every moment - dancing, staying out late, and soaking up the full festival buzz.

Moments like this are what truly matter - building confidence, opening up new opportunities, and supporting people to live the lives they choose.
