Our principles

As we develop our new strategy, we are working to ensure that Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of our principles. These principles underpin all aspects of our organisational culture, and we put them into action through our behaviours. They also guide the way we work with our staff, grant partners and all our stakeholders.

These are our principles:

• Inquiring: Fostering an environment of inquiry through curiosity, embracing new perspectives, engaging in ongoing exploration and committing to continuous learning. 
• Collaboration: Working collaboratively with colleagues, grantees and trustees and actively communicating ideas, offering support and participating in collective decision-making to achieve shared goals. 
• Transparency: Maintaining transparency through honest communication, open sharing of information and decisions, taking accountability for actions and ensuring clarity in all interactions. 
• Inclusivity: Creating an inclusive workplace environment, by respecting diversity, by promoting equity and belonging and by demonstrating empathy towards others' experiences and perspectives. 
• Justice: Ensuring justice through fairness, equity, and impartiality in all aspects of society, ensuring that individuals receive what they are due and that their rights are respected and protected. 
• Creativity: Encouraging creativity, coming up with new and unique ideas or ways of doing things by using our imagination and thinking in different ways.
