Our Philosophy
We believe that vulnerable individuals, in common with every individual, have the right to control their own lives, within the everyday constraints of life.
We provide the help and support which can sometimes be considerable, needed to achieve this, and will actively seek to enable the individuals supported to gain more and more independence as their skills and competencies develop.
We wish to enable each person to have a sense of self worth, a positive self-image and a good understanding of others around them. We believe in treating others with dignity and respect at all times
Our philosophy is at the core of everything that we do which is why we know it is important to invest in all employees continuous professional development to give them the tools and resources to deliver care and support in a person centered way that ensures that individuals are in control. If you are interested in coming to work with us please look at our vacancies and get in touch.

As a Trustee you would act in the best interest of the charity and be actively involved in the decision making that takes place. Trustees meet regularly every other month. It is desirable that Trustees attend these meetings on a regular basis and contribute to the discussions that take place within them.
Charity Trustees must act together for the benefit of the charity – this role is one of monitoring so that you are aware of what the charity is doing and that it is meeting its legal requirements. You need to be sure the charity is meeting the needs of the people that it sets out to help.
As a charity Trustee you are a volunteer, however travelling expenses can be reimbursed.
If you feel you would like to fill this important role or to find out more information then please contact us via our website, by telephone or post. Further information is also available from the Charities Commission for England and Wales, guidelines from which the Board of Trustees at Way Ahead follow closely.
