Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
