Aldingbourne Trust

The Aldingbourne Trust is committed to unlocking potential in people with learning difficulties. We provide opportunities for people aged from 18 years to develop a choice of skills leading to greater independence and, wherever possible, useful employment in the local community.
* We enable people to develop their skills and potential
* We work with people as individuals
* We involve people in making decisions in their lives and in the development of our services.

The Aldingbourne Trust is a registered charity, first established in 1978. We now support over 130 individuals in West Sussex to achieve greater independence and control of their lives.

We do this by providing a range of day, residential, training and support opportunities.
