The Big Life Group
Big Life is in the business of changing lives. We fight for equity – in health, wealth and life – by working with people and places to create opportunities and inspire change. The welfare state is struggling to reduce inequality. In a time of stretched public services and deep division, we need to rethink how we work. In every community, we need to maximise our impact. That’s why we build partnerships with communities, decision-makers and services to widen opportunities, grow local assets and build resilience. There are all sorts of things that can stop people from getting to where they want to be. People juggle their health, work, relationships and more, and those facing multiple disadvantages often have the biggest challenges. When one thing goes wrong, it can feel overwhelming and affect everything else. That’s why all our services, including those funded by the NHS, work with people across all areas of their lives – helping them tackle the things that matter most. We work with people to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of change, and to recognise and build on their own strengths. We call this the Big Life Way.
