ACTION POINT
“It’s about making people feel that they belong in the community and about breaking down barriers. I think we do it really well. Everyone is so caring and genuine. They want to make a difference. I think we make a real difference.” Diane
“It makes you feel better that you’re cooking them a nice warm meal. The menu today is for Mexican Week. So, we’re doing chicken fajitas … with chips!”
Tina
“[What I like about coming here is] the staff are nice.” Lucy
“Commitment to working with some of the hardest-to-reach people and also being grassroots – almost not making a distinction between the people that use the service and the people that are delivering the service.” Andy
Action Point runs projects and services for adults with learning disabilities, older people, people experiencing mental health difficulties and disadvantaged or marginalised groups. This project aims to share a collection of photographs that, together, conveys something about its ethos of care. It provides an alternative narrative to what is often seen and heard on mainstream and social media, shining a light on small acts of love and kindness by a local charity with a small team of staff working with an army of volunteers.
