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 way we work with each other at Calico – they’re at the heart of our culture and how we achieve great things.
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.
Listen to Marta, one of our Service Managers at Safenet share her experiences of working within The Calico Group.
We’re proud to work in partnership with Hive—a platform that lets our colleagues share anonymous feedback. These surveys give everyone a chance to speak up, whether it’s about their own experience, their team, or the wider organisation. We believe every voice matters and that our people have great ideas for how we can do better. By listening and acting on their feedback, we’re working to create real, positive change across Calico.
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.
