Plymouth Highbury Trust

Who we are

Plymouth Highbury Trust is a charity providing a diverse range of services and social events for people with learning disabilities, living in the City of Plymouth. The Society started out as a self-help and support group with the aim to improve the services available for people with a learning disability. The Society’s membership increased considerably over the ensuing years and a lasting fellowship developed between members that still stands today.

Our culture and values

Our mission is to ensure that individuals with learning disabilities gain the support, care, experiences and the opportunity to live their lives to the full.

Our Vision is to support people with learning difficulties and their associated support network throughout life, to challenge and change the possibilities for them, with them.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed and value diversity and promote equality of opportunity for all. We promote, respect and encourage good relations within and between groups and aim to meet the different needs of different groups, as appropriate, whilst promoting shared values.

We promote an inclusive and harmonious place of work and service provision where there is mutual respect and where harassment and bullying, intimidation or violence is not tolerated. We also prevent unlawful discrimination and victimisation, as well as comply with our legal obligations overall.
