About Making Space
Making Space is a national charity and provides health and social care services. We have been helping people with care and support needs and their carers, to lead independent and fulfilling lives since 1982.
Our vision is for wellbeing to be at the heart of health and social care. Our values are:
Kind Hearts - generously building empathy to create a sense of belonging
Tailor Making - nurturing unique relationships to make every day count
Dreaming Big - harnessing imagination we generate confidence in ourselves and others to take the first step
Having Courage - committing bravely to working in ways that take us to new places
Being Ready - responding to whatever comes our way by moving forward together
