To promote equality & diversity by challenging negative attitudes and stereotypes, creating an inclusive culture, ensuring equal access to opportunities & resources, to challenge inequality and discrimination, whilst raising awareness. To bring relief to those in need, we aim to help people who are in need because they are disadvantaged due to age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, or another disadvantage.
