About us
Calico exists “to make a real difference in people’s lives”. This is our PURPOSE, and it’s what drives us every day.
Our VISION sets out how we best fulfill our Purpose, and it is to be:
“A community of people, working together with customers to close the equality gap and to show others how we create a fairer society”.
We’re a large Group and that means we have lots of opportunities to make a difference.
We operate across the north west delivering a range of services.
Our greatest impact happens when we work together as a Group to help people to live their best lives.

Our VALUES shape the culture at Calico and set the standard for how we work together.
We believe that when our people grow in their skills, confidence, and wellbeing, they can have the greatest impact on the lives of others.
That’s why we focus on unlocking individual strengths and creating an environment where managers and leaders are both inspiring and supportive, helping everyone thrive in their roles.
Marta would like to tell you what it’s like to work here.
We are proud members of Hive, where we ask our colleagues to give us anonymous feedback. These surveys give our team a voice on a wide range of topics—whether it’s about their personal experience, their colleagues, or the organisation. We believe that every employee has valuable insights on how we can improve. By listening to their feedback, we aim to empower our people and make positive changes across the organisation.
We are committed to creating a diverse and supportive workplace. As a Disability Confident Employer, we actively recruit and retain individuals with disabilities, ensuring an inclusive environment for everyone.
We are also proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant, providing opportunities and fair treatment to those who have served in the military.
Through our involvement with the Care Leaver Covenant UK, we’re dedicated to helping young people from care backgrounds transition into meaningful and rewarding careers.
