Strategic vision


It is our mission that PSS continues to be a provider and innovator of care services in the UK, enabling people to lead healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives within their community.

In February 2008 the Board of Trustees reviewed and updated the rolling five-year Strategic Plan covering the period 2008-2012. They paid due regard to the ‘General Guidance on Public Benefit’ published by the Charity Commission, and in so doing, they considered how the activities planned would further the aims and objectives of the organisation.


Innovation has always been the key driver of PSS. The Trustees decided that the new plan would remain focused on the development of innovative, cutting edge services in order to become a leader in innovation in the health and social care sector.

In order to achieve that, they considered that PSS would need:
  • A deep understanding of need
  • Capacity to research potential ideas
  • Finance to pay for innovation
  • To be able to secure continuity of funding for successful ideas
  • The ability to influence legislation and social policy
  • To be in a position to influence public service purchasers
  • The ability to develop innovation projects further by replication
