Our vision, mission, and values

Vision

We believe in a world where communities and ecosystems can thrive.

Mission

We build resistance and resilience among the people and movements challenging unaccountable power.

Values

Make it count. We focus on what matters and create lasting change.

Work together. We listen first, share power, and act alongside you.

Speak truth. We’re not afraid to challenge – or be challenged – but always with compassion.

Be open. We speak clearly, share generously, and act with heart.

Stay curious. We ask questions, explore new paths, and learn from our community.

Organisational culture

We are in this together. We show up for each other with trust, honesty, and care. We prioritise collaboration over control, and teamwork over hierarchy. We listen deeply, share power, and learn from each other. We hold space for each other’s whole selves, and we act with compassion in our work and our relationships. Our culture is built on respect, curiosity, and the belief that we are stronger together.
