Our mission, vision, and values

Tackling disadvantage; changing lives

Starting as a small charity in Salford in 1989, we’ve grown and diversified, helping tens of thousands of people over the past 35 years. As society and our communities have changed, we’ve also learnt, innovated and adapted to meet evolving needs and respond to new opportunities.

Unfortunately, our work is not finished. Injustice, inequality and disadvantage still prevent many from overcoming challenges and reaching their full potential. So, we’re determined to help more people and make an even bigger impact across Greater Manchester by 2030. We’re ambitious, passionate and determined to play our part in tackling disadvantage and changing lives.
