Objectives

Developing Health & Independence is a charity that challenges social exclusion by supporting people to achieve their potential and contribute to the richness and wellbeing of their community.

We provide a comprehensive range of services in Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, Wiltshire, and Somerset for people who are socially excluded for reasons such as homelessness, alcohol or drug problems, learning disabilities or emotional difficulties.

We help people to turn their lives around by tackling both the causes and consequences of social exclusion through practical and emotional support services such as information and advice, supported housing, counselling, activities, and employment and training opportunities.
