Welcoming people from all faiths and none, we work together towards growth, connection and the good of the whole community.

Our Christian ethos is in our DNA – it’s why we were founded over 170 years ago and it’s why we still exist today. We remain as inspired and challenged as our founders were by the message of Jesus Christ. We are committed to connect people with their community in a way that works for them, reduce social isolation and make a world where everyone can find their place and take part.

Our values

Our values underpin everything we do:

Open

We value transparency, speaking honestly and simply to inspire trust with the people we support and our donors.

Enabling

We ensure that the people we support have lives that add up. We seek opportunities for them to participate in life in ways of their choosing.

Inclusive

Rooted in Christian faith, we treat others as we expect to be treated. At a practical level, we work together with those we support to design, deliver and evaluate our services. 

Courageous

Since 1844, we have held the ambition to think differently for the people we support. We are confident enough to act when change is needed.
