Centre for Participation

The Centre for Participation changes lives and communities through local opportunities in community support, volunteering, learning and partnerships. Our values The board, staff and volunteers share a common set of values that guide the Centre for Participation in fulfilling its vision. These values influence our actions, guide our decisions, mould our policies and underpin our strategic priorities. Inclusion and respect We believe that everyone has the right to be culturally and socially accepted, welcomed and equitably treated. Integrity We are committed to being open and honest in our work and actions, believing that transparency is important. Life-long learning We seek to provide accessible and affordable learning opportunities for people of all ages, recognising the importance of developing knowledge and skills needed now and into the future. Responsiveness and innovation We seek to remain flexible and have the courage to take informed risks and ‘try something new’, without compromising our commitment to quality. Partnership Collaboration with voluntary and community groups, and public and private sector businesses, improves our ability to support positive outcomes for individuals and our communities.
