WHAT&WHY
Large Heading
together transforming
In a world that is obsessed with outcomes we approach life from a different perspective. Outcomes are important but they are not the whole story. Whilst data is an extremely useful tool to help us measure impact, there are many outcomes that can't be easily measured but are equally valuable.
We believe in the power of the process - the shaping that happens to us when we interact with our clients. This shaping makes a significant difference to our lives and the lives of our clients. Our values that underpin why we do what we do shine through and gives us our identity. We're all about improvement, the change that can happen to childrens' life chances, but change is not enough. Change can be un-done. We can swerve back to old mindsets and habits. Instead we believe in transformation - the renewing of the mind. Transformation is permanent, it cannot be undone. This is where true societal benefits come. Yet to do this alone rarely works. Transformation is a truly social action. It involves people and finding ways of collaboration, valuing each others' contributions. That's why we are about the power of togetherness in the process of transformation.
We champion three aspects of transformative thinking:
character
Resiliance in overcoming obstacles time after time. Developing key character strengths in ourselves and others.
agency
The importance of having a advocate - someone who beleives in us and is always there to cheer us on.
culture
The answers are already there inside the culture - it's about searching, identifying and celebrating heritage and history.
