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. 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. At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to listening carefully to the real challenges faced at grassroots level and responding in a dynamic, innovative way. Our approach brings together voluntary organisations, statutory services, and local community networks to create joined-up, practical support that treats people as whole individuals. This collaborative, holistic model rooted in the life of the community is something we believe can serve as a blueprint for others seeking to address complex social needs in meaningful and sustainable ways. Driven by our Christian faith, we work alongside partners to support, encourage, and empower people of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, and circumstances. With strong local backing, we have raised over £4 million to develop a central community hub in Chipping Norton, providing a base from which this integrated support and outreach can grow and flourish.
