Sova is a charity that works in the heart of communities in England and Wales to help people steer clear of crime. We do this by making sure that when people find themselves in difficult situations they have someone on their side to help them make better choices so they can stay out of trouble and build better lives. - See more at: http://www.sova.org.uk/

The ability of anyone to get on in life depends on support and opportunity.   

We believe that stronger communities are built by looking out for those who, for one reason or another, find it difficult to access the opportunities available – for people who are often excluded by communities and who find it hard to get the help and support they need. Our goal is to change that.

We believe that opportunity is key to individuals’ and whole communities’ ability to work, grow, develop and prosper. For some people, because of their circumstances, opportunities can be limited and in a tough economic climate more and more people find themselves with few prospects and little hope. 

Working within communities is the best way to make a difference. We help individuals in trouble due to crime, drugs, worklessness, isolation and lack of skills, and support families to become stronger units. We go the extra mile to create opportunities for people to be inspired, to learn, improve their skills, work, share knowledge, offer support and participate in building stronger communities together.    

We want to make sure that everyone has someone on their side, so whatever their circumstances, they have a fair chance at changing their lives for the better. We don’t judge people by their past, we look at what they have to offer and we’re here to help them shape their future.
