Our Values 

Our core values act as guiding principles that determine the purpose and direction of our work. They also inform how we work with our partners and other stakeholders.

Authenticity – we are committed to centring the voices, experiences and aspirations of disabled people in everything we do.

Inclusivity – we strive to create an inclusive environment in which diverse voices are heard and the abilities and capacities of disabled people recognised.

Dignity – we believe that respect and equality empower disabled people to challenge discrimination and exclusion in all its forms.

Collaboration – we work in equal partnership with disabled people and their organisations to help them realise their aspirations.

Responsiveness – we provide adaptable and dynamic capacity-building support for our partners that is tailored to their needs.

Integrity – we build trust, community and shared purpose with our partners by encouraging openness, honesty and fairness.
