   Our Vision, Mission & Aims

Vision
Carr-Gomm Scotland is committed to a society, which, in its values, public policies and individual actions respects, encourages and supports everyone to take control of their own lif

Mission
Carr-Gomm Scotland’s Mission is to contribute to achieving its Vision through the example of our services that are person-centred, inclusive and maximise the control people using them have; and through taking part in public debate to influence policies and people’s actions.

Our supported living services are for all adults, throughout their lives and at times of change, for as long or as short a time as wanted. We also provide community care services that play a part in enabling people to lead their lives, including, following treatment plans.

We will:

• work together with the people using our services, people close to them, communities and other organisations; and
• carry out the full range of support work to enable people to lead their lives, respond to challenges and fulfil their hopes and aspirations.

Support Work includes, amongst others: emotional support, personal care, developing activities, interests & social relationships, linking people into other services and communities, managing risks safely, looking after a home, budgeting, medication & treatment programmes, checking, being there in difficult times, enjoying life, reflecting back and planning for the future.
