Aletheian Private Trust


The Aletheian Community Trust is a private trust focused around Bristol, England. Our beneficiaries are private individuals and families who live in the area.

As a community we are making the changes in our own lives to set an example of how things could be. We can do all the things that we hope others will do, and we can start right now.

The trust is operated by a strong body of trustees who between them have a vast knowledge and wisdom of the entities and systems that surround us.

Families and individuals from the local area are invited to join in trust and steer our shared reality towards something positive.
