'those who make things better' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'pimps not supporting' is the wordplay.
'pimps' becomes 'procurers' ('procurer' can be a synonym of 'pimp').
'not' is a deletion indicator.
'supporting' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this in other clues).
'procurers' with 'pro' removed is 'CURERS'.
