Our mission, vision and values
Believe in people
At Change Grow Live, above all else we believe in people. It's the one thing that acts as a foundation for all our work.
If you use our services: we understand what you're going through. We won't judge. We believe you can make positive changes in your life.
If you work or volunteer for us: we believe in your potential. We believe you can do brilliant, life-changing work.
If you're one of our partners: we believe that together we can deliver real value and positive change in our local communities.
Our mission - what we want to achieve
Our mission is to transform lives by providing services built on evidence and compassion, rooted in the communities we serve.
Our vision - where we want to get to
Our vision is a world where people are seen for their potential not judged for their problems.
This means we’ll try and break down the silos that end up holding people back. We will look at a person's needs and do whatever it takes to help them make the changes they want to make. We will work with other people and share what we learn. We will do this because this isn't about us, it’s about the people who use our services.
Our values - the behaviours we live by as an organisation
- Be open
- Be bold
- Be compassionate
Everything we do is shaped by our values, and above all else, we believe in people.
Make a difference
We exist to help people achieve their goals, to be the best that they can be and to help change society for the better. This is true whether we are talking about the people who use our services, our staff or our volunteers.
We are not in control of everything that impacts upon the people who use our services. However, we are in control of what we do, how we behave and where we focus our expertise, resources and energy.
Our aim is to work together to challenge stigma and oppression. We want our charity to be a place where our staff and people who use our services are respected and engaged. Ultimately we want to make life safer, easier and better for as many people as we can.
