Our purpose as a charity is to enable people to make more informed choices concerning their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, in a way which reflects our belief in unconditional acceptance in order to:
- - Actively empower individuals
- - Encourage their sense of self worth
- - Help them realise their full potential
We will do this through appropriate and feasible feedback and sustained contact with other professionals.
