Accepting responsibility for our actions (and inactions) is the ultimate way to build trust internally and externally and as such, we are accountable to each other, to the mission, to our donors, members, partners, and to the public.

• ensure ease of communication of information and its accessibility; opportunities, expectations, goals and outcomes.

Service beyond self: 

How we approach new relationships and maintain already existing relationships is a major part of how we stay active and effective.

• make a meaningful difference for others and leave positive reviews of personality and the organisation.
• readily offer contribution to the growth and development of the local and global community
• offer opportunity, support and assistance to individuals and communities requesting/in need of our help
