Highfield Park Trust is a charity established in 1996, following the closure and redevelopment of Cell Barnes and Hill End Mental Health Hospitals. The hospitals had extensive grounds, part of which have now become Highfield Park. The Trust aim is to provide a diverse rural park for the benefit of the local community.

The Trust receives the majority of its income from a private investment which is a lump sum received from Department of Health when the hospitals closed. The remainder of the Trust income is from the rental of various properties within the Park, fundraising, grants and donations.





The Articles of Association allow for a maximum of 13 trustees who guide the management of the Trust and the Park. There are six Board meetings a year and also a Community, Events and Publicity sub-committee. If there are any issues which you feel should be discussed at these meetings please contact the Trust.
