We support the people society often overlooks. We believe every person has value and we’re here to make sure their voices are heard and to create opportunities to thrive. Working in partnership with people at the heart of our community our projects remove barriers and reduce isolation.

Reading is the 3rd least equal city in the UK (www.centreforcities.org). We work with underserved communities to reduce health and social inequalities, build stronger more connected communities and give a voice to the unheard. Many of the people we support have experienced trauma, faced significant challenge and are socially or economically disadvantaged. We see the challenges people face, and we seek to help them to improve their situations.
We will deliver one to one support through befriending, mentoring and outreaches. Meeting people where they are, we build connections within communities and our volunteers provide long term support. We take an holistic approach and are passionate that local people should feel empowered to help themselves and their community so we support them to do just that. This reduces isolation and increases confidence, resilience and independence enabling people to make and sustain positive life choices.
