The Big Life group
Big Life is in the business of changing lives for people who have the least. We start where people are at, and support them to get to where they want to be. We know there might be all sorts of things stopping people from getting where they want to be. People juggle health, work, relationships and much more besides, so when one thing goes wrong, it can cause problems in other areas, especially for those with little financial or social support to begin with. That’s why we look at every aspect of a person’s life, and work with them to remove all those obstacles on the journey to changing their life for the better.
