COMMUNITY LED INITIATIVES want to help people who want to make changes to feel part of their community and achieve their potential.

At Community Led Initiatives (CLI) we change lives and help improve communities.

We believe everyone deserves
to feel valued, to be happy, to belong.

At CLI through our dedicated support services, peer-led mentoring, and practical and emotional support, we help people who have experienced the criminal justice system, addiction, homelessness, and mental ill-health, recognise their potential as individuals, build their self-worth, their self-esteem and achieve their aspirations.

Our support and mentoring helps people build a more fulfilling life and see how they can become part of, and positively impact, their community.

We work in partnership with other organisations that are striving to deliver positive impacts, support change, and share our commitment and values.

And we actively welcome those with lived experience of offending, addiction, homelessness, or mental health issues as part of our team. Where others see risk, we see opportunity.

“I can’t say what can be improved about CLI. All I know is my support worker and I can’t see how things can be done any better”

“When I started with CLI I needed help. I couldn’t do it on my own but I also was scared to ask for help. It was hard to admit my weakness. There is still a long journey but I feel like we’re making progress”

“I am doing more to look after myself. I am also able to say no to people about things. I know my strengths now too and want things to be good for me.”

“My mentor was the difference, I felt her offer of help was genuine…like it was more than just a job to her”
