Why we do what we do

Our Purpose: Every Ability Matters

At Caring Hands & Co, our purpose, “Every Ability Matters”, guides everything we do. It’s about recognising and celebrating the strengths, interests, and aspirations of people with disabilities, and creating inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.

How We Work

We exist to support and empower individuals and families to live their best lives.

  • We focus on each person’s strengths, goals, and interests.
  • We work in partnership with individuals, their families, and the wider community.
  • We aim to understand every person’s perspective, providing support that truly meets their needs.
  • Our approach is person-centered, evidence-informed, and flexible, adapting to each stage of life.
  • Our services are designed to build independence, confidence, and community participation.

Our Values

Our values guide the way we work, connect, and grow. We call them CARE — reflecting what we want for everyone we support, and for our team:

  • Compassion: We treat everyone with kindness, empathy, and dignity.
  • Accountability: We act with honesty, integrity, and responsibility, earning trust through our actions.
  • Respect: We recognise everyone’s strengths, listen to their experiences, and treat each other fairly.
  • Empowerment: We create opportunities for choice, growth, and independence for individuals and families.

Why We Do What We Do

Because every person has unique abilities and potential, and with the right support, nothing should hold them back.
At Caring Hands & Co, we remove barriers, celebrate achievements, and ensure every member of our community feels valued, included, and supported.
