Change Grow Live

Change Grow Live has grown from a tiny volunteer-led Sussex-based organisation, to a nationwide charity that helps tens of thousands of people each day.

We believe in people

Above all else, we believe in people. It's the one thing that acts as a foundation for all our work. It means we focus on the people who use our services and do everything we can to make sure we're giving the best service possible.

When you come to one of our services, we'll make you feel welcome and supported, and we'll always treat you as an individual. We respect and support your choices, so we will work with you to find the right treatment and care options, rather than telling you what to do.

We'll get to know you as a person. We care about everything that's going on with you - your physical health, mental wellbeing, lifestyle and relationships - because they all play a part in helping you reach your goals.

We want the people who use our services to play an active role in shaping how we do things too. If you use our services, you can become a service user rep and give us feedback on what we can do better.

We're a charity

Change Grow Live is a charity. We're funded by councils and local authorities who commission us to provide services, and we sometimes receive donations from the public.

Because we're not a business, we're not looking to make a profit. So we can focus on making sure that everything we do is helping the people who use our services, and the wider public too.

We've been there too

Many of our members of staff have previously used our services. And many of our staff started as front-line workers, volunteers or peer mentors (including our Chief Executive).

We know this is a huge strength. Having that first-hand, frontline experience means our staff are in the perfect position to support the people using our services and our staff on the ground - they've been there, so they get it.
