The Do Good Charity is a national charity supporting people to lead fulfilling lives

We are a charity that provides housing and provides support. We offer this to people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism and complex needs, older people, people who have experience of mental health, and to people who are homeless or have been subject to modern-day slavery or trafficking.

We believe that improving outcomes for people affected by modern slavery and human trafficking starts with making experiences visible, both in our services and in the data that informs policy, research and healthcare.

We're proud to have contributed to the EXPOHS study with UCL, which highlighted the significant barriers many survivors face when accessing healthcare.

For many autistic people and families, having a safe space to talk, learn and connect with others can make a real difference to mental wellbeing.

Through our Here to Help project, we run autism and mental health sessions that give people the opportunity to share experiences, build understanding and support one another.

The lived experiences of autistic people and families are at the heart of Here to Help, helping to shape the information, resources and support we provide, as well as the development of our website.

This World Mental Health Day, we're sharing some of the feedback we've received from people who have attended our sessions.

Their feedback highlights the importance of creating spaces where people feel heard and valued.

Colleagues have landed in Spain!

They're visiting Granada, walking in the footsteps of our founder, St John of God, on a special study trip exploring his life, legacy and the values that continue to shape our work today.

Colleagues from services across the UK applied for the opportunity by sharing why they wanted to take part and telling us about a time they lived out one of our core values.

During the trip, they'll stay at the St John of God Hospital (on St John of God Street!), visit the St John of God Basilica and Museum, and spend time with the Brothers in Granada, deepening their understanding of our founder and the impact he continues to have more than 450 years later.

The trip is fully funded by The Do Good Charity, covering travel, accommodation and even some fun activities, including a visit to the Alhambra and time to explore the beautiful city of Granada.

We'll be sharing more from their journey very soon!

Nothing brings people together quite like a home-cooked meal.

At Bede's Close, support worker Hanson swapped his usual role for chef, cooking up a homemade curry for everyone to enjoy together.

It was the perfect excuse to take some time out, share a meal and enjoy each other's company while celebrating our new name.

We believe a home is about more than just a place to live. It's about feeling welcome, connected and part of something.

Sharing meals and spending time together are a big part of that, reflecting the hospitality at the heart of what we do.

Sometimes doing good is as simple as coming together for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Everyone at St Paul's got involved in this year's Macmillan Coffee Morning, with homemade cakes helping to raise money for a cause that supports so many people and families.

Activities Coordinator Suzi said: "Cakes were made with help from the sisters and kind donations from the kitchen staff team."

A big thank you to everyone who baked, donated and got involved to support such a worthy cause 👏

To mark Nigerian Independence Day, everyone at North View came together for a mini celebration featuring traditional Nigerian food, music and games.

The event was organised by members of the team and gave colleagues, the people we support, family members and professionals the opportunity to learn more about Nigerian culture and celebrate together.

Deputy Service Manager Shaun said:
"At North View we are blessed to have a diverse staff team who each bring their different experiences and passions. We had a party, with some music, games and Nigerian food (with the spice reduced!). Everyone got involved, family and professionals were invited and even some staff not on shift turned up."

One of the greatest strengths of our organisation is the diversity of the people who make it what it is. Events like this create opportunities to share cultures, learn from one another and bring people together.

The fact that family members, professionals and even colleagues on their day off chose to be part of the celebration says everything about the sense of community at North View.

Well done everyone 👏
