About Safeguard Foundation

Our Story

Helping more people live independently, with confidence

Safeguard Foundation is an Isle of Wight charity created to help people access technology and support that can make everyday life feel safer and more manageable.

We believe the freedom to live independently should never depend on someone’s ability to pay. By working with local organisations, funders and community partners, we aim to remove the financial barriers that can prevent people from accessing potentially life-changing support.

The Difference It Makes

More than a piece of technology

Our work is not simply about providing a device. It is about giving someone the confidence to leave the house, reassuring a family member and helping people remain active and connected within their communities. The right support can help:
  • Someone feel more confident living independently
  • A person call for assistance when they need it
  • Families and carers feel reassured
  • People remain involved in their local community
  • Reduce the fear that can restrict someone’s everyday life
Every person’s circumstances are different, so support will be considered according to individual need rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Guides Our Work

Our values

Independence

We want people to have greater confidence and choice in how they live their lives.

Dignity

Everyone should be treated with respect and involved in decisions about the support they receive.

Fairness

A person’s ability to access appropriate support should not be determined solely by their income.

Reassurance

Our work should provide practical reassurance to the individual and the people who care about them.

Community

We believe people should be supported to remain connected to the places, activities and relationships that matter to them.
