Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Vision

Strong communities where all people have good health, resilience, and opportunity

Our Mission

To empower individuals and communities facing systemic and intersectional barriers by delivering accessible, inclusive, trauma-informed, and person-centred support tailored to their unique needs.

Why we Exist

Manor Gardens Welfare Trust is rooted in the heart of Islington, one of London’s most diverse boroughs. Despite its vibrancy, Islington faces significant challenges, ranking as the sixth most deprived in London, with pronounced disparities in income, health, and life expectancy. In Islington, the intersections of disadvantage are complex, with ethnic background, income, and health inequalities interlinked. For decades, Manor Gardens has recognised and addressed these issues, providing culturally competent, multilingual support to meet the needs of our community

Resilience

Building strength and adaptability to overcome challenges.

Inclusivity

Ensuring everyone feels valued and included, respecting diverse backgrounds.

Empowerment

Supporting individuals to gain knowledge, skills, and confidence.

Teamwork
