Values
C
Courage
To do what is right, even when it is the hardest option. To be brave enough to call out negative or harmful behaviours, practices and principles and advocate for positive change. Courage to always be true to yourself in all your uniqueness.
I
Integrity
To hold ourselves and each other to the highest standard. To always give the best advice to our Clients, even when that involves stepping away. To practice honesty in all we do and to maintain the promises we make.
R
Respect
To be mindful but also supportive of others’ thoughts, beliefs and circumstances. To create a safe and welcoming environment for all staff and Clients regardless of race, gender, faith, sexuality, ability, age or background but also without diminishing or disregarding those aspects of a person’s being which may impact their experiences with the world and each other.
C
Charity
To give back to our community in as many ways as we can, whether this be through fundraising, advice or further education. To help raise the profile of vital local charities and non-profit organisations that support our community in important ways. To encourage others to support charities and good causes within their businesses, personally or as a community.
E
Equity
To move beyond the simple notion of equality and to ensure no staff member or Client is prejudiced by race, gender, faith, sexuality, ability, age or background. To insist all unique aspects of a person’s being are celebrated, supported and championed because the more diverse we are, the more we support and represent the diversity of the Clients and community we serve.
