What We Think

Empowerment, Purpose, A Zest for Life.

At Kerensa Care & Support, our philosophy is simple: Empower people to develop and grow—in care, in career, and in community.

Our Why

“Empowering People to Develop and Grow”

This isn’t just a tagline—it’s the soul of Kerensa. Everything we do, every decision we make, and every conversation we have is shaped by this belief.

Our mission is clear:

“To give real purpose and opportunity to the people we support and the people that support them, through enabling personal development, respecting individual differences, and promoting a Zest for Life mindset.”

When people are empowered, barriers fade, confidence grows, and lives are transformed—one person, one achievement, one moment at a time.

What It Means in Practice

We don't focus on limitations. We ask:

"What can this person do—and how can we support them to do it?"

Whether it’s brushing their own hair or abseiling down a cliff, we build our support around their goals, their abilities, and their dreams.

And that mindset applies equally to our team: from new Support Workers to experienced managers, everyone at Kerensa is empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive.

Why “Kerensa”?

Kerensa comes from the Cornish word for love—and love is at the heart of our work.

It guides how we support people, how we treat one another, and why we go above and beyond every single day.

What We Value

    Listening, acting, and learning—from the people we support and from each other.
