KeyRing is a charity that provides social care support in England. Since 1990 our support has started with the simple question ‘what do you want from life?’
It’s not rocket science but it works. In 1990 two guys with a bit of common sense and a lot of determination set up KeyRing. They were Carl Poll and Greg Willdigg. They asked people what they wanted from life. Overwhelmingly people spoke about:
This inspired the KeyRing Living Support Network model. The model hasn’t changed a whole lot since then but people still talk about it being innovative. Originally we worked with people who have learning disabilities. Today we work with anyone who needs support to live independently. Our support is adapted to the local area we work in but every service is still based around the key question ‘what do you want from life?'
A welcoming world with communities that celebrate the skills and talents of everybody.
KeyRing connects people and inspires them to build the life they want.
Our themes for the next few years are:
We expect more for people – We are ambitious for people and their lives. We will challenge what we think is possible and expect more. This is not just about the people who are supported by KeyRing it's also about social care and the communities we work in and with.
We champion connection and community – We don’t want to do this alone. Lives are better when they are connected. We will use our connections to make sure that we have a big impact on people, the social care sector and the communities we work in and with.
We invest in our future and the future of good support – We will use our funds wisely to make our plans a reality.
This plan was coproduced with teams at all levels of the organisation and the people who draw on KeyRing support.
