Our Strategy

SPA – Our strategy for 2022-27

In March 2022, SPA launched our new strategy “SPA – Safety, Support & Recovery from all forms of abuse.
STRENGTH FOR POSITIVE ACTION is designed to deliver our strategic vision for the next five years. We are building on STRENGTH FOR POSITIVE ACTION's 46 years of providing specialist, holistic support services for women and children. We are ambitious and want to drive change at every level to ensure that everyone lives healthy and independent lives free from violence, abuse and exploitation. The strategy was developed following a series of workshops with staff and service users and includes our new vision, mission and values.
In the strategy, we have identified 6 six key strategic objectives to achieve our vision and mission over the next five years:  
S – STRENGTH FOR POSITIVE ACTION Influencing, Partnerships & Leadership    
O – Organisational Development & Growth     
L – Long-term Recovery and & Lasting Change    
A – Accessibility, Education & Employment    
C – Children & Young People    
E – Empowerment, Engagement & Aspirations    
  
These objectives will also be underpinned by three intersecting principles: intersectional feminism, partnerships & collaboration and being service user and evidence.
