The original intention of the Settlement was, by bringing future leaders face-to-face with poverty, to develop practical solutions that would later inform decision-making processes and influence social change. The initial purpose of tackling issues around poverty and social inclusion continues to be a driving principle for how the asset is used, although the approach adopted depends on the needs and circumstances at the time. That said, KLS has always tried to use a place-based and community development approach, which has resulted in the Settlement becoming firmly rooted within the community.
