Principal activities of the company

In fulfilling these objectives, the charity undertakes the following key activities: 1.

Our services are targeted at families in demonstrable need, identified through referrals from professionals, partner agencies or self-referral processes. 3. To support our work, we engage local volunteers, providing training and experience, which contributes to community cohesion and skills development. 4. We aim to increase confidence, improve wellbeing, and reduce isolation. These outcomes are measured via feedback forms, consultation, and referral data. 5. We work in partnership across Gloucestershire to improve the lives of local families
