development. We will build skills and seek resources to implement new
services and/or facilities in response to identified need.
Partnership
we are accountable to all our stakeholders and are committed to making
sure the views and needs of our service users, funders and other partners
are listened to. We will work with service providers and policy makers to
have influence into the development of services and strategies which
impact the communities we exist to serve.
Sustainability
We have a responsibility to our service users and the communities in which
they live to ensure that the services we develop and deliver are sustainable,
