with work or without. So, we set about changing that. Transform Lives Company is an established social enterprise working in the North-West dedicated to not just transforming people’s lives but transforming the way we can do this. Our developmental support really is life changing. We work with inspiring volunteer hosts and partners to build people’s confidence and ensure them feel valued. We are changing the way this support is funded and delivered.
We have shown the effectiveness of our approach and the positive outcomes it brings. We work with partners looking to collaborate to bring about social action beyond their core purpose. Our approach is truly person-centred. We start with kindness, understanding the difficult situations many people find themselves in.
