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.

Everything we do is driven and guided by our core values

Welcoming

Our doors are open to anyone who wishes to contribute to or use the service. Whatever your issue or situation, we welcome you and want you to feel at home.

Leading by Example

We aim to change the lives of young people and adults by inspiring and empowering them to succeed with confidence, through good leadership.

Working Together

We believe that real results come from people working collaboratively and creating solutions together... and by having some fun while we do it.

Professional & Responsible

We aspire to be the very best we can be. We provide a consistent experience, operating quality systems and standards.

Proud & Passionate

We are hugely passionate about our Foundation, and want to do great work that we all feel immensely proud of.

Proactive & Dynamic

We are solution-focused and use creativity and proactivity to constantly find better ways of working.
