Our Care

Briars Barn, founded in 2008 by Sheila Lamb, aims to create work-based opportunities for adults with learning disabilities through a cottage industry model. Drawing on personal experiences with her brother who has Down's Syndrome, the organisation promotes inclusion, creativity, and personal growth in a supportive countryside environment. This unique centre prioritises a person-centred approach, fostering independence, choice, and participation among its members. Believing that everyone can contribute, Briars Barn cultivates a collaborative atmosphere where individuals are valued for their abilities and encouraged to make a difference.

The organisation relies on donations and fundraising efforts to maintain its vital services and ensure families receive the help they need during challenging times. In addition to hospice care, Acorns also operates various shops, including furniture stores, where community members can donate items or shop to support their cause. The Trust engages the public with events such as the Great Birmingham Run and seasonal activities to raise awareness and funds for its mission. Generated from the website
