Welcome to the ‘Amelia Trust Farm’ web site, an opportunity for us to share a little with you about the work of this charity.

Set on a 160 acre lowland site in the middle of the Vale of Glamorgan, we are a working farm with a variety of livestock that gives free access to anyone who wishes to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.

Visitors are welcome to explore the farm and surrounding play areas and nature walks, with the possibility of pre-booking barbeque sites or hiring the use of other facilities, we even have a self-catering hostel for those who wish to make a longer stay!

All these facilities and more are used on a daily basis by disaffected young people and adults with learning difficulties, who travel from the urban areas of South Wales to train, experience and share positive changes to their lives.



“The Trust owes its existence to the vision of our benefactors Bob and Ethel Huggard and its name is that of Bob’s mother ‘Amelia’. Unfortunately Bob died in August 1991 but Ethel is still very much involved and looks upon those who work here and those it seeks to serve, as her ‘Amelia Family’.

We know that she is extremely proud and thankful for all that has been achieved by the Trust’s devoted team of staff and the hundred or so volunteers upon whom we depend so heavily.” Tony Ford, Chairman of the Trust.
