Our mission & vision
We believe that everyone can play their part in building a fairer, safer more equal world and that we can each make a crucial difference.
Our mission is to inspire and empower people to live as global neighbours, each doing all we can to help those living on the front line of the refugee crisis, global poverty and the climate emergency. Our vision is to see an end to poverty, brought about by concerted, compassionate community action.
Our values
Our core values, conviction (head), compassion (heart) and community (hands) run through everything we do. They are underpinned by our Christian ethos, define our character, and equip us to effectively serve all those we meet.
Conviction
We believe that honouring others above oneself, caring for each other and acting with a sense of courage, humility and justice can change this broken world we live in.
Compassion
We believe that all people are created equal, to live equally and with dignity. In a world torn apart by poverty and injustice, our heart is to serve all those we meet with love, respect, kindness and openness.
Community
We believe our capacity to bring about the change we want to see is enhanced by working together with others. We believe that acts of collaboration are like ripples, spreading outward, far-reaching and with transformative power.
