Welcome to Bournville Village Trust
Bournville Village Trust is one of the largest and most respected housing trusts in the country. Founded in 1900 by George Cadbury, the chocolate manufacturer, the Trust now looks after some 8,000 mixed-tenure properties in Bournville, inner-city Birmingham, Shropshire and elsewhere in the Midlands.
As well as being a not-for-profit housing association providing rented housing, we manage supported housing, community facilities and landscaped areas on the Bournville Estate, and an agricultural estate. At Lightmoor Village in Telford, Shropshire, we are creating a new village, reflecting the aims of the original Bournville Village, but in a 21st century setting.
Annual Report and Accounts 2008
One of the things we celebrate at Bournville Village Trust is our rich history. We were founded over a hundred years ago by George Cadbury whose vision, drive and commitment established a successful, balanced, mixed community in a model village.
