About
Since 1974, Beacon has been dedicated to providing social support, and today, our impactful services extend their reach to thousands of people in the South Island and Gulf Islands, creating a lasting and positive impact across every phase of life.
We provide a comprehensive range of services to a diverse population of people in need. We call the support we give “wraparound services”—this term reflects our commitment to assisting individuals throughout their entire life, from birth to the end.
We dedicate ourselves to:
- Helping keep children, youth and families healthy, strong and connected;
- Offering shelter and housing supports to youth and young adults;
- Sheltering seniors and people with disabilities in safe, affordable housing;
- Supporting seniors to stay social, active, healthy and energized;
- Equipping people to develop skills and find opportunities in the world of work;
- Supporting emotional wellness;
- Connecting volunteers with our community; and
- Caring for those in need.
