SMART FIRST POINT IS A PART OF SMART CJS, a REGISTERED CHARITY.
SMART’s vision is to transform our communities so that every person has the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential, participate in and contribute to all aspects of life.
We do this by providing safe spaces to work with vulnerable people, empowering them to make positive changes and take control of their lives.
We work with people to help them realise their goals and ambitions; supporting and empowering people to build a home and the foundations of the life they want to lead.
