What your organisation does

We have a purpose in providing social value in all that we do within our immediate community and, as such, we have a vital role to play in its development and in building the capacity of its residents in their pursuit of protecting their health and well-being and, by so doing, building a better future. Whilst our emphasis over the years has been on

continuing to grow our services both in terms of the quality and quantity, 2023/24 has focused on developing and restructuring the organisation against this continuing backdrop of immense challenge which does not seem to be easing. The business plans which we developed for our services in 2022/23, continued to be implemented in 2023/24. We continued to develop our services, which involved having to make big decisions regarding where we invest our resources. This has resulted in us restructuring the Senior Management Team and we achieved our registration with The RQIA for our children’s residential home, for children aged 5-11 years, in February 2024, and we opened for business in May 2024. We are a strong, well-structured organisation, we have our governance arrangements embedded and are working to the level that illustrates our strengths. Our governance sub-groups are all supporting and delivering the strategic direction and oversight of the organisation. More importantly, we value all our staff who work extremely hard to deliver our services and those who provide vital leadership and management roles, and working alongside the Board, to develop and deliver our strategic and operational goals. They have helped us build an organisation of which we are all immensely proud. The vision, strengths, work and outcomes have not been achieved in isolation from our main financial stakeholders and funders: The local Trusts and other Government departments.
