Innovation and Awards

Innovation

We pride ourselves on constantly reviewing and adapting our services to meet our clients' aspirations, drawing on their experiences to make improvements and refinements.

Sometimes this means doing the unexpected or trying something completely new. We have a history of taking on challenges, and our hunger for innovation has not diminished. These are just some of our recent innovations: -

• LifeWorks programme - tackling social exclusion through the provision of psychotherapy. Read our latest briefing
• St Mungo's Palliative Care Service- our joint palliative care service ,established in partnership with Marie Curie Cancer Care, for homeless people approaching the end of their lives. Read the new palliative care research report, published May 2011.
• ReVive - a social enterprise company that bids for contracts to refurbish our projects, and offers people who complete our programmes the to work on real jobs in a work based environment.
