Our five shared values are:

  1. Equity: Embracing inclusivity and compassion, establishing profound connections with the communities we serve, and empowering them. 
  2. Collaboration: Nurturing both internal and external relationships, fostering transparent communication, and partnering to amplify our impact. 
  3. Independence: Championing the public's agenda, serving as purposeful and critical allies to decision-makers.
  4. Truth: Operating with unyielding integrity and honesty, fearlessly advocating truth to those in power.
  5. Impact: Pursuing ambitious endeavours to effect meaningful change for individuals and communities while remaining accountable and holding others accountable.
