Programme 03
Social welfare
Care rooted in local people and local needs.
Local people, local needs, long relationships. Our welfare work begins with the community and is offered as partnership. Where the money goes is always easy to find.
Why it matters
Care that stays.
Care works best when it is close to the people who need it, and when it stays. Short visits help for a day; relationships help for years.
Our welfare work begins with the community and is offered as partnership: local people, local needs, long relationships.
How we work
How we approach social welfare.
Every programme follows the same principles. Here is how they show up in this one.
Rooted
Begin with the community
We start with what the community says it needs, and with the people who are already helping.
Dignified
Care as partnership
Help is offered as partnership, never as pity.
Compassionate
The person before the programme
We start with the person, and let what we hear decide what we do.
Transparent
Money you can trace
Where the money goes is always easy to find.
What it looks like
Community spaces
The work is set in the places where a community meets, is heard and looks after one another.
How we look at it
Three questions we ask of this work.
Means, dignity and flourishing: the same three questions we ask of everything we do.
01
Means
Is care available where and when it is needed?
02
Dignity
Is it offered as partnership, never as pity?
03
Flourishing
Do relationships and community strength outlast any single project?
Help care stay.
