02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our Charity is set up to support vulnerable adults to live within their own homes and communities by providing social care support to them either directly or remotely through SOL Connect. Each person has an outcome based support plan which sets out their hopes and dreams in life, and our job is to support them to achieve this in a way that best supports their needs. We do this in partnership with the person, statutory services and family and friends where appropriate.
