This is just the beginning: launching our new strategy

October 21, 2025October 21, 2025

Today we launch our new five-year strategy, a bold and collaborative vision shaped by staff, volunteers, partners and communities. It sets out the changes we want to see across loneliness, wellbeing, inclusion, community power and social connection. Rooted in social justice and powered by volunteers, this strategy will guide how we work, grow and lead change together. This is just the beginning.
