Transforming young lives through hope, justice + compassion.

SAMS supports a community of children and young people in and around Tadley with their emotional and mental wellbeing.

Through building relationships we instil hope, ignite justice and empower compassion. This leads to transformed lives and a positive impact within communities.

Our Core Values

  • "HOPE" text with underline on teal background.

    Hope is one of the most significant emotions we experience as human beings. Hope is life giving. Hope empowers children and young people to look forward, enabling them to celebrate how far they’ve come.

  • "Justice" text with underline on green background

    Children and young people are naturally justice driven; their sense of right and wrong is legendary! That kinds of justice is so often put to one side and they remain unheard. We seek to listen, to validate and where necessary to redirect. Enabling them to use their hunger for justice to positively impact their local community.

  • The word "Compassion" on a teal background with white chalk-like lines underneath.

    We choose to look outwards and and want to set free the natural compassion that is within our children and young people. We foster a “can do” attitude that encourages them to see solutions to issues and then practically outwork this with our guidance. We encourage positive action to build not only their own self-worth but adds to a growing compassionate community.
