Mission Statement
Bristol Reach are committed to providing young adults the support they need to enjoy the same rights, freedoms, responsibilities, and opportunities to thrive as those within the wider community, regardless of background or ability. Our Mission, Beliefs and Values serve as a public commitment to uphold our founding principles and consistently strive for better quality in all areas of our service.
Our Values
- Keeping our tenants, their families and support networks at the centre of all our decision-making
- Providing opportunities for young people to access education, training or further skill development
- Fostering the development of sustainable communities and meaningful relationships
- Being creative, flexible and adventurous in our approach to support
- Promoting wellbeing as a core component of what it means to lead a meaningful life
Our Beliefs
- Every person has intrinsic and equal value, and the right to be supported with dignity and respect
- Support practices should be based on true facts and backed up by empirical evidence
- Frontline social care staff should be properly recognised and rewarded for the value they bring to communities
- Joined up working is key to providing sustainable, positive outcomes for young people
- Sustainability, environmental responsibility, and efficiency should underpin the business practices of all new businesses
Bristol Reach’s beliefs and values are foundational to the way we conduct our support and manage our business. They will continue to underpin our decision-making and the way we work now and into the future.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to provide high quality accommodation and person-centred support that aims to build confidence, skills and independence for as long as someone needs it. We also aim to foster strong social networks and sustainable peer relationships, so that eventually there is no need for us at all.
We aim to fulfil our mission and purpose by:
- Building connections with other local providers to share information and resources
- Being responsible – only tendering for contracts when we have a high degree of confidence that we can provide a safe, effective placement and positive outcomes for the tenant
- Supporting our service users to maximise their income and independence through job coaching, daily living skill development and benefits training.
- Making use of and contributing to local community initiatives and resources
- Providing proactive and flexible support that responds to the changing needs and wishes of our service users
- Manging our resources carefully and efficiently to ensure the long-term sustainability of our projects and consistent support to our service users
