- Children in need of additional support and/or protection;
- Services to the Courts and people who have contact with the Criminal Justice System;
- People with mental health problems, or drug or alcohol dependency;
- People who are homeless and in need of support;
- Promoting social inclusion amongst the most vulnerable members of communities;
