Our Vision, Mission & Aim
Our mission is to identify and assist individuals who are experiencing physical, social and emotional isolation in rural areas, particularly elderly people.
Our vision is that people are aware of the high quality support delivered by BRS, covering a branded range of services that is client centred, empowering and which is owned, valued and used by the community it seeks to serve
Our aim is to combat the sense of isolation and loss experienced by many people living in rural areas, through a range of branded services, focussed on specific target groups. To date, BRS has concentrated on establishing services and supports centred predominantly on older people, however we are currently expanding our range of services to include isolated younger people and young parents. We do this by – internally – investing in staff skills, training and structures. Externally, we work with complimentary partners and learn from best practice. Together this enables us to empower and facilitate local people to take the next step towards improving their quality of life, by encouraging socialisation and community involvement.
Our Community Support Workers through our Befriedning Service offer different levels and types of assistance and companionship to anyone in our community that would enjoy it.
The Social Farm offers multifunctional use for groups and learners with opportunities such as: education; social care; rehabilitation; and a range of health and well- being outcomes.
