The Branch Trust is a charity established in 2020, growing out of the outreach work of St Mary’s Church, Chipping Norton. We serve communities across Chipping Norton and surrounding villages, with a particular focus on the most deprived areas of West Oxfordshire, where barriers to accessing support can prevent individuals and families from thriving.

Our approach brings together voluntary organisations, statutory services, and local community networks to create joined-up, practical support that treats people as whole individuals.
