Barca-Leeds is a community based charity, a registered company limited by guarantee. We are an organisation that delivers transformational projects for adults, children, young people and families in Leeds, connecting them with services that respond to the needs of each individual. We work with a range of partner organisations, both voluntary and statutory, to reduce social isolation and support people in developing their own initiatives. We help people overcome the barriers they face in fulfilling their potential by delivering advice, support and guidance at a community and individual level. This includes people who may have complex needs and have been excluded from other services as a result. We support people struggling with housing issues, finances, physical and mental health problems. Our services are also geared towards children, young people and adults affected by domestic abuse, drug and alcohol issues, as well as people struggling with employment or education. At a strategic level we seek to influence local, national and international policy development. Our Vision is 'A Fair Society'. This means that our ultimate purpose is to make a long term sustainable difference by empowering people to achieve independent and fulfilling lives. We take the learning and experiences of the people we work with and share their stories with commissioners and policymakers, in order to influence and shape future changes in policy and services. Our mission is to care, listen and respond to the needs of people in our communities, and work with them to deliver outstanding services to improve their wellbeing.
