Sustainable Communities

SCLogo 2020

Our organisation operates within 3 core mission areas:


1. STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES:

  • Strengthen charities and SMEs by providing tailored support to enhance services and establish robust governance structures. For example,
    • Deliver consultancy and leadership training to improve organisational effectiveness.
    • Offering specialised training to promote inclusivity and understanding when working with marginalised groups, mainly focussing on the LGBT+ communities.

2. SUPPORTING LGBT+ AND OTHER DISADVANTAGED GROUPS:

  • Implementing targeted projects for the LGBT+ community, notably our national LGBT+ Dementia Rainbow Cafe; LGBT + Rainbow Friends, a befriending service for over 50s and LGBT+ United Hearts, a national support network for survivors of domestic abuse and those involved in dual allegations.
  • Conducting research, including a 2023 LGBT+ domestic abuse scoping exercise across ten boroughs.
  • Empowering individuals, families, and communities, including older adults and racialised groups, to reduce carbon emissions.

3. CARBON REDUCTION

  • Engaging community members in raising environmental concerns and ideas through platforms like video. E.g. 2023, with www.risemutual.org environment video project with 12 -15 young people who had been violent or abusive to their parents.
  • We support youth initiatives, such as partnerships with charities like Slade Community Play Association CIO in Brixton, to empower young people to contribute positively to their community.

Through our multifaceted approach, we aim To empower individuals and amplify voices in our pursuit of a better, more equitable society.
