ABOUT THE BIVOL TRUST

The Bivol Trust is a small Portsmouth-based charity, which supports people with learning, and accompanying physical, difficulties in Portsmouth and the surrounding area. This is achieved through running weekly groups which consist of two music groups, two art groups, an evening social group and a weekly zoom-based social group.

The groups provide a platform for group members to develop or learn new skills and the opportunity for social interaction, for making and maintaining friendships, and lessening isolation and loneliness.
