About Us

ABOUT REAL PURPOSE

Our Mission

We aim to improve people’s mental health, reduce poverty and encourage community integration.

 

We do this by supporting individuals from disadvantaged groups into employment, volunteering, and/or learning.

 

By bridging these gaps, we aim to improve people’s overall well-being by helping them to discover and fulfil purposeful opportunities.
