Bournville Village Trust is one of the largest and most respected housing trusts in the country. The Trust is developing the old Bournville College Site, the first phase of which is the partnership with The ExtraCare Charitable Trust to build the new Village – Bournville Gardens. The Trust is set to follow the Village with a separate, specialist Nursing and Dementia Home, an independent living scheme for people needing care and support and a Health and Wellbeing Centre. The new development will be known as College Green and the aim is to complete the whole project by summer 2015. More about the Trust: www.bvt.org.uk
