Our Social Mission

"Working together to support a fulfilling life for people with complex needs"

Our Social Mission is an enduring mission that we will always be striving to achieve. To achieve it is something more than important - it is worthwhile! And this leads to a series of positioning statements for the Trust:

  1. The Next Step Trust is a social purpose organisation that works in a caring, professional and enterprising way to provide the highest levels of support services possible for people with complex needs

  2. Through recognising individuality, we work in a flexible and responsive way to meet the needs of each person who uses our services

  3. People with complex needs deserve to have the same opportunities and choices in life as other people - the Trust works with parents, carers, professionals and other support organistations to make this happen

  4. Our services are provided in a safe, healthy, happy and stimulating environment to support the development of a person's independence, responsibility and potential.
