Values & Strategy

Our work is based on the respect for human dignity and on a Christian/Catholic ethos: faith, community, hope. We value honesty and trust as well as professionalism, accountability and teamwork. We strive to encourage and promote people in their development and self-actualisation, enabling them to be self-reliant - the best they can be.
