Welcome to the web site of True freedom Trust.

True freedom Trust is a Christian support and teaching ministry for men and women who accept the Bible's prohibition of homosexual practice and yet are aware of homosexual tendencies, or struggle with other sexual and relational issues.   We also offer support to families, friends and church leaders of those who face these issues in their lives.  TfT was founded in 1977 by Martin Hallett and the late Canon L Roy Barker.

Our office is in the North West of England where our staff workers are based.  We have Support Groups and Voluntary Workers (men & women) across the UK. We also provide help and encouragement to people overseas through e-mail and correspondence.  In addition we have four private e-mail support groups for TfT members - for men, women, wives and parents.


The TfT Members Area is a discussion area for TfT members. It can be accessed by the Members Area button on the left. View this tutorial for how to register.

Note that you will need to join TfT's membership BEFORE registering on the Members Area.
