The Lisieux Trust Limited
Charity 1151222
Overview
Summary
The Lisieux Trust appears to be a specialist provider of homes, care and support for learning disabled and autistic adults, operating chiefly across Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. Its role seems to extend beyond accommodation: it combines regulated-style residential provision with supported living intended to increase tenancy rights and individual choice. The organisation’s stated charitable geography is wider than its visible service footprint, suggesting either a focused delivery model or unrealised regional reach that warrants clarification.
Operational geography

Lists the Trust's CQC-regulated Supported Living service in Erdington, Birmingham. - Lisieux Trust — Supported living
States that the Trust manages eight supported-living properties situated across Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.
Sutton Trinity
Confidence: low
Lisieux House is a current, CQC-registered residential service operated by the Trust in Sutton Coldfield, but the available evidence does not directly establish ward-level operation.

Sutton Vesey
Confidence: low
Francis House is a current residential service run by the Trust in Boldmere, but the available evidence does not directly establish ward-level operation.
- Birmingham City Council — Francis House service directory record
Lists Francis House in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield as an active contracted care-home service for people with learning disabilities and autism. - Care Quality Commission — Lisieux Trust Limited: Services
Confirms Francis House is provided and run by Lisieux Trust Limited.
Sutton Wylde Green
Confidence: low
Vesey Road is a current CQC-registered residential home operated by the Trust in Sutton Coldfield, but the available evidence does not directly establish ward-level operation.
- Care Quality Commission — Vesey Road
Confirms that the residential home known as Vesey Road in Sutton Coldfield is provided and run by Lisieux Trust Limited; its latest assessment was published on 23 July 2025. - Birmingham City Council — Vesey Road service directory record

Remaining uncertainties
- The Trust says it manages eight supported-living properties across Erdington and Sutton Coldfield, but it does not publicly identify the addresses of those domestic properties. Their individual ward locations should therefore not be inferred or disclosed.
- The Trust's public materials describe its footprint as North East Birmingham, including Erdington and Sutton Coldfield. This supports a district-scale operational identity rather than citywide delivery, although individual residents may use activities, education, volunteering or community venues elsewhere in Birmingham.
- Birmingham City Council and CQC records demonstrate active commissioning and regulation of named residential services, but do not establish that either body extends the Trust's routine delivery footprint beyond its homes and supported-living schemes.
- The Trust's charitable objects include Warwickshire, Solihull and Walsall as well as Birmingham, but the current operational evidence reviewed does not demonstrate active service delivery in those areas.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, service-location schedule or safeguarding-appropriate aggregate breakdown showing the ward distribution of supported-living properties.
- Confirmation from the Trust of whether its registered supported-living service base is solely administrative or also hosts regular activities for residents and tenants.
- Current information on any formally commissioned or partnership-delivered services outside the Erdington and Sutton Coldfield cluster.

Observations
Independence is embedded in the service model
The Trust appears to use two accommodation models for different levels of independence: 24-hour residential care and supported living with individual tenancy rights and tailored care hours.
Why it matters
This suggests that accommodation is not simply a housing offer, but a pathway through which people may gain greater control over where and how they live.
Show evidence
“Residential care homes provide 24-hour support for adults with a learning disability, autism, or both.”
Source:Organisation“Supported living allows individuals to gain full tenancy rights, with care hours determined tenant by tenant.”
Source:Organisation
The organisation occupies a bridge between care and ordinary community life
Its offer appears designed not only to meet care needs but also to enable participation, skills, hobbies and social opportunities. Donations may be used for elements of life that are less likely to be covered by core care funding.
Why it matters
This helps explain the Trust’s wider civic role: it may address the gap between funded support and the conditions needed for a fuller, more self-directed life.
Show evidence
“The Trust aims to support adults with learning disabilities and adults on the autism spectrum to live happy, enriched lives full of opportunity and choice.”
Source:Organisation“Donations could fund courses, specialist sporting or sensory equipment, and social opportunities.”

There is a possible mismatch between charitable remit and visible delivery geography
The formal objects permit work across Warwickshire, Solihull, Walsall and Birmingham, while the website identifies homes in Sutton Coldfield, Erdington and Birmingham. This may indicate a deliberately concentrated operational footprint within a broader charitable remit.
Why it matters
Understanding whether this is strategic focus, historic legacy or a capacity constraint would clarify where the Trust is positioned within the region’s disability-support ecosystem.
Show evidence
“The Trust’s objects cover Warwickshire, Solihull, Walsall and Birmingham City.”
Source:Charity Commission“The Trust identifies residential homes in Sutton Coldfield and supported living homes in Sutton Coldfield and Erdington, Birmingham.”
Source:Organisation
- Whether the Trust currently supports people across its full charitable geography or primarily within Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield.
- How referrals, local authorities, families and other community organisations shape access to its services.
- Whether people move between residential care and supported living, and what outcomes this produces.
Remaining uncertainties
- Annual reports or impact data showing beneficiary numbers, locations, outcomes and service demand.
- Information on referral routes, commissioning relationships, partnerships and waiting-list or capacity data.
