    supportive connections across the community, helping to rebuild lives and
    create a neutral, welcoming place for all.

  • RESPECT
    We believe in universal human rights and treat everyone on an individual basis,
    and with dignity; we strive for “acceptance without judgement” [service user quote].

  • EQUALITY
    We understand the negative impact of inequality and social exclusion in our
    society, and aim to reduce barriers to equality and make Scotland a fairer place.

  • INCLUSION
    We support participation in the development of our services with the aim to
    reflect the diversity of all involved.

  • EMPOWERMENT
    We promote awareness of rights and entitlements, supporting ambitions
    to live autonomously, providing access to advice, support, personal
    development opportunities and a collective voice within the community.

  • CREATIVITY
    We celebrate the use of arts and culture as a means of expression, challenging
    stereotypes and negative media coverage, in order to create authentic narratives
    which value contributions made by all in our community.
