Our Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
An inclusive society where people with learning disabilities are empowered to lead and live great lives.
We believe a ‘great life’ looks different for everyone, and everyone should get to choose what that looks like for them. This is reflected in our support, where each person is involved in designing their support plan so we can understand what they need and want to achieve. This supports people to have leadership in their own life.
We also have a longstanding history of employing leaders with a lived experience of learning disabilities at all levels of our organisation, including our Service Quality Directors. This ensures the voices of people with learning disabilities are amplified and lead the focus of everything we do.
Our goal is that this is the reality for all people with learning disabilities. A society where no barriers exist.
Our Mission
Drawing inspiration from the Greek history behind our name, we chose to structure our mission around five ‘pillars’. These pillars act as our guide to ensure we keep providing the best support to people with learning disabilities.
- Person First Support: We are all seen as individuals first, and our support reflects this.
- Lived Experience Leadership: We lead the way with lived experience, at home, work and in our communities.
- Advocacy and Influencing Change: We advocate for ourselves and each other, to challenge thinking and influence change in our society.
- Working Together: We built inclusive communities by working with others and promoting equality.
- Continuous Improvement: We are curious and improve together by sharing ideas, feedback and best practice.
Our Values
Underpinning all of this are our values, which shape our approach and how we work with each other and the people we support every day.
Finally, putting it all together:
Every day our staff, the people we work with and the people we support bring our vision, mission and values to life. We are very excited about the future and continuing to support people with learning disabilities to lead a great life.
