The Life Project (Bath)

We are a Bath based charity working with and supporting adults with learning disabilities. Our vision is for an inclusive world in which people with learning disabilities know they belong and our mission is to create and model supportive community for people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.

The values of The Life Project (Bath) – creative, inclusive, enabling, community – are at the heart of who we are and what we do. These values have strong roots in Christian teaching and practice, whilst also being accessible and meaningful for all – regardless of background. We believe that every person is unique – fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:4) – and is a valuable gift to the world and our community.

Our primary services are:

- Day Services for Adults with Learning Disabilities

- Family Support for Parents and Carers

- Springs - a fellowship group for adults with learning disabilities sharing faith and community

- Socials for all the family

St. Bartholomew's Church

Grade 1 medieval church. The church is full of museum quality artifacts including rare wall paintings. St. Bart's sits in the centre of a caring rural community. The church has wheelchair access, internal ramps, a loop system and books for the visually impaired. The community have formed a 'Friends of Brisley Church' group to help save the building. St. Bart's is on the English Heritage 'at risk' list. We need to raise over £300,000 to rescue the building. The Rector of the church takes a service one Sunday a month, he has 10 other churches to look after in the Benefice. We hold additional services with the support of retired clergy. The church supports the local food bank. There is a lending library and a local history resource centre in the church. The church supports a number of local events, including holding creative arts festivals and music evenings.
