Our Values Social Justice – enabling
people to claim their human rights, meet their needs and have greater control over the decision-making processes which affect
their lives. Participation – facilitating

power, skills, knowledge and experience. Equality – challenging
the attitudes of individuals, and the practices of institutions and society, which discriminate against and marginalises people. Learning – recognising
