About The Branch Trust

The Branch Trust is a charity established in 2020, growing out of the outreach work of St Mary’s Church, Chipping Norton.

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

GROW is entering a pivotal stage of growth. Our focus now is on strengthening team capacity, centring community voice, developing pathways to leadership and employment, deepening hyper-local networks, and contributing more visibly to the agroecology sector.

The Managing Director will provide clear strategic direction and overall leadership, ensuring GROW remains responsibly-governed, financially resilient, and grounded in its agroecological values. Working closely with the Board of Trustees, they will nurture and inspire a multidisciplinary team of 16 employees and freelancers, strengthen key partnerships, and guide the organisation’s continued development and impact.
