Our Values Header

We are inclusive – we work with people as we find them. We encourage aspiration, personal action, personal resilience and relationships between people and communities which enhance mutually positive regard. We believe that all people are made free and equal and we champion that cause.

Our Values Inclusive

We are relational – we work with others by building trust and respect. We believe that meaningful relationships are the basis of real and sustainable change and this is central to everything we do. We work to inspire, inform and support others and we do this the through quality of the connections we build.

Our Values Relational

We are effective – where lives and communities are blighted by poverty, poor relationships or community tensions, we want to help bring about positive change. We are oriented towards finding solutions and bringing about lasting change by working through our relational partnerships.

Our Values Effective

These values come from our Christian foundations through which we have a desire to see real change in human lives and in our country.
