Our primary focus is to enable individuals and communities to 'live as well as they can' encouraging an interest in social responsibility, reducing isolation and increasing the independence of vulnerable people and their unpaid carers to prevent or delay dependence on statutory health and social care services. We use an approach that puts responsibility for health, happiness, and independence firmly in the hands of individuals and communities while recognising that many people need advice and support to achieve this


Our target beneficiaries are primarily, but not exclusively, individuals and communities from marginalised and minority groups. We define, minority group membership as being typically based on differences in observable characteristics or practices, such as ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation or disability.
