OUR MISSION
Our Mission: Empowering People to End Poverty
Empowerment provides the foundation for people to take control of their lives and move beyond poverty.
The journey towards empowerment isn’t linear, and every path is personal. Our mission is to share this journey together, honouring each unique story with empathy and deep understanding.
-
Our Missional Objectives:
-
local churches, charities, organisations and grassroots groups for anti-poverty outreach.
-
essential poverty alleviation work.
-
of alleviation and restoration work through empowerment and early intervention.
Volunteers are our foundational team members, empowered in their personal contribution to the fight against poverty. The vast majority of volunteers are mobilised and supported through our partnerships with local churches and other partner organisations.
Acts employs a dedicated staff team whose primary role is to coordinate anti-poverty activities and projects. This team delivers specialist roles and services, and is responsible for supporting, training and championing volunteers in their transformative work on the front line. Each project area has dedicated staff, hired to manage capacity, so that individual team members do not have multiple project delivery focuses.
Our volunteers and staff are supported by a Senior Leadership Team, and the whole charity is accountable to a board of Trustees who ensure we operate legally and in line with our vision, mission and objectives
