ABOUT

As of the 1st April 2025, The CLD Trust will no longer exist. ONSIDE will be delivering The CLD Trust services and will continue to support communities. ONSIDE would like to thank The CLD Trust for its support for local people since 1994. Staff from The CLD Trust will transition across as employees of ONSIDE on 1st April 2025 and continue delivering services for children, young people and their families. 

ONSIDE is a charity working across Herefordshire & Worcestershire, established in 1993 stemming from a belief that everyone has the right to be a valued human being and to be treated in a just and fair way.

In support of this belief we provide a range of support and services to ensure fairness and equality for adults who may be vulnerable, disadvantaged or discriminated against. This includes mental and physical ill health, sensory impairment, learning disability, drug and alcohol misuse, older people, and carers. ONSIDE is funded through a range of sources to maintain its independence and ensure that the support it provides reflects the views and perspective of the people it wishes to help.

We make a difference to the lives of over 11,000 people a year through our dedicated team of experienced staff and volunteers recruited, trained and supported to work as advocates, mentors, befrienders and appropriate adults.
