02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Vision: ' Every person in Scotland can enjoy a happy, healthy life free from poverty or disadvantage'. Our mission is to inspire people, communities, organisations and government to work together to drive social change and transform lives. We believe that Scotland's voluntary sector has a transformative effect on the lives of those living in Scotland who otherwise may struggle due to life circumstances, poverty or other disadvantages. Our aim is to amplify and strengthen the impact of organisations by helping them to build their strength, resilience and reach. We do that by harnessing the power of the private, public and voluntary sectors.
