02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The organisation is here to help people who have been pushed to the side to find their feet again. It supports physical and mental wellbeing by building confidence, improving personal health and hygiene and reducing anxiety, especially for those who struggle to find work or training because of addiction, mental health challenges, or a past criminal record. It also helps people learn practical, job-ready skills by working with local agencies and community groups, making training and employment feel possible again. Beyond this, it encourages people to reconnect with support services and get involved in their communities through volunteering, so they can feel valued, useful and part of something positive. We run skills based activities which include gardening, woodwork and art and craft.
