Communities where older people flourish - connection, contribution, choice

We're committed to communities where older people flourish and for us this means providing opportunities for our residents to enjoy treasured relationships, exercise choice and feel valued. We call these our three Cs - Connection, Contribution and Choice.

As a registered charity and not-for-profit, our unique blend of welcoming retirement villages, specialist care homes and support for older people both in our communities and across our region, allows us to put what matters to you at the heart of all that we do.

Helping older people flourish where they live

St Monica Trust was founded on a commitment to not only support those who live with us in our villages and care homes, but also to older people in their own communities. Our Charitable Impact Team works with older people across the West of England to find ways of helping older people to flourish.

From community activities to giving gifts and grants, we support individuals and communities to access the activities and resources that are meaningful to them. We can’t do this alone and our partnerships with communities, organisations and other charities allow us to have the biggest impact possible.

Supporting communities

Our Charitable Impact team helps tackle a variety of issues by distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds to individuals, organisations, and communities across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Bath & North-East Somerset to improve the lives of older people in the region, through joint projects and funding for organisations and individuals.

We aim to develop relationships with organisations at a local level, particularly around our villages, to find opportunities to collaborate to maximise our impact. We deliver different types of grant programmes but our core funding principle is the focus on improving the quality of life of older people in our region.
