Top Barn Trust Farmland

Who We Are

 

Having farmed Top Barn Farm, just north of Worcester, for many years the Harper family created the Trust in 2007 and this has become a way to feed back into the local community, where about forty acres of land have been dedicated to the community enterprise programmes.


The programmes running at Top Barn are designed to build community, assist people of all ages and encourage learning and personal growth through practical skills, farming and nature-based activities. The programmes are run autonomously with their own governance, but are strongly aligned with the Trust’s own values, with community and care at their heart.

The Ministry 


The Ministry at Top Barn Trust runs in parallel with the community enterprise programmes and exists to help people discover more about the Father’s love and become Followers of Jesus.


Groups gather for prayer and bible study and can attend inspirational speaking events. Many opt in to receiving daily devotions and encouraging messages via ‘What’sApp’.

The Team

Top Barn Trust has eight team members, four of whom are on our board of trustees.

Burundi

Recently the Trust has become involved in agricultural development in Burundi, a country that has suffered extensively in recent times and is one of the poorest nations on our planet. In the North-East of the country support has been given to helping displaced people learn how to farm the land and build storehouses for their produce.


In the North West of the country support has been given to families who have been displaced over the past few years by the terrible floods from Lake Tanganyika. Many who have lost everything are being encouraged, supported and trained to set up their own businesses in order that they can once again become self-sufficient.
