Support to individuals on a one to one basis or group support - BHC works with disadvantaged/ vulnerable individuals who are facing difficult circumstances for whatever reason - mostly health or social. Individuals have the opportunity to develop their own personal development plans, training, learning opportunities, volunteering and thus improving employability.

BHC works with local people, local agencies and community groups to improve the local community; helps people to develop new skills and increase their knowledge; establish and deliver community activities that improve health; encourage and support individuals to become volunteers.
