Mission Statement

Our Mission
We seek to provide unconditional support to people in need and to promote social and economic policies that alleviate human suffering.

Our Vision
For communities where there is love peace, justice, reconciliation and dignity for all people, where there is care for the vulnerable and their environment and where each individual has the opportunity to contribute and participate fully in community life.

Our Goals

We aim to provide effective and professional social welfare services within a community development framework, with particular regard to those who are marginalised through disability, injustice and lack of opportunity.

We aim to promote social caring activity in partnership with parishes through volunteer and self-help groups.

We aim to evaluate and comment on social and economic change openly, positively and with integrity.

We aim to promote with courage the development and implementation of social policy, which is consistent with Christian teaching.

Our Philosophy
The Samaritans Foundation believes that people presently experiencing disadvantage have the right, equally with others, to fully participate in and contribute to community life. Samaritans seeks to express God’s care to all people through promoting acceptance, justice, reconciliation, peace and dignity for all.
