We are a regeneration charity. The nature of our work means we respond to individuals in the local community, so we are used to thinking innovatively and adapting to change.
Over the past 21 years we’ve built stable foundations to ensure we can sustainably create opportunities for local people so their lives are better. The vast range of work we are involved with stems from place-based delivery; addressing the real, lived experiences of local people with co-designed services that truly make a difference.
Our why
We’re here so people have the opportunity to grow in a vibrant, multicultural and self-sustaining community
Creating opportunities for a better life
We’re people powered and community focused so individuals and families in Calderdale live as well as possible with practical support that builds skills, confidence and aspirations
Through the power community, our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners, combined with our 21 years of experience, we can move closer to reaching our purpose. We’ve introduced three Impact Goals to guide us and inform the ways we want to work with people in the local community of Park ward and beyond. We will consistently address these to make the most progress towards our overall vision.
Each of our Impact Goals have a unique relationship with how we work and what we do, and combined they have the power to make the impact we want to see.
Creating opportunities for communities to live and work together, in safe and sustainable space
Taking a human approach. Working alongside individuals, understanding their aspirations and supporting them along the way
Looking forward, leading the way and guiding those we work with towards better things
It’s important the things that make us true to us remain the same. They define the kind of organisation we are and the things that are important to us. They keep us grounded, authentic and drive us towards our vision.
Making people’s lives better is our main focus. We aim to create a community that is multicultural and self-sustaining, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a brighter future for all.
