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.

Making Waves at Bevern View

Our much-loved hydrotherapy pool at Bevern View has long been one of the most important spaces for our residents. For people who are profoundly disabled the chance to be supported in water — free to move, stretch, and simply be — is nothing short of transformative. After 14 years of use, the pool recently needed urgent re-tiling, and thanks to a huge effort, we were able to get the funds and complete this. But as is often the way with essential facilities, one fix revealed others: a failing chemical dosing machine and a hidden underfloor leak have caused fresh challenges, meaning more time out of the pool and even more funds needed.

Despite this, we remain determined. Every moment our residents spend in the hydro pool improves their physical health and mental wellbeing. It’s central to helping them live fuller, more joyful lives—something at the heart of everything we do.

We’re currently recruiting support workers, and if you’re looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

As Immy, one of our team, puts it:

“You can see when you’ve helped make our residents more comfortable—their whole body relaxes, you might get a smile or a touch—and in that moment, you know you’ve made a real difference. Bevern View is a purpose-built residential home in Barcombe providing life-long care for 11 young adults with profound disabilities.”

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
