Our Vision for 2023 – 2025 is a Perth & Kinross where
people flourish and their communities thrive.
We created our Vision because we believe that people flourish when they are listened to, engaged with, and feel that they are a part of something. They achieve a deep sense of wellbeing, meaning, and purpose, even in the face of challenge, uncertainty, and adversity when they have a say in what happens in their lives.
Communities thrive, when:
-
People are enabled to live fulfilled lives;
-
they are meaningfully involved in matters that affect their lives and communities;
-
people and communities connect with, understand, and support one another;
-
and people and communities have places, spaces and technologies that they can use to make good things happen.
During our day-to-day work, we are guided by four values that were developed by us (PKAVS employees) and are a central part of everything that we do.
We Show Compassion
We create an environment for each other and for the people we serve which is safe, warm, and welcoming and has a family feel. We take care of our own and one another’s mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing in good and bad times. We show respect and empathy for others.
We’re In This Together
We work as one team, putting we before me, willingly sharing our talents, resources, and experiences. We trust that we’ll all do a great job, removing obstacles and finding solutions to achieving our goals and charitable aims. When a mistake happens, we don’t judge but support each other to put it right and learn for next time. When we say we’ll do something, we do, striving to go above and beyond whenever we can.
We Speak From The Heart
We communicate respectfully, openly, and honestly – even when it feels hard and uncomfortable. We’re not afraid to be vulnerable with each other. We encourage each other to speak up. We challenge and support each other to live our values.
We Make An Impact
We prioritise the people we serve to enable them to see a positive way forward. We measure our impact, seeking and acting on feedback so that we can keep improving. We celebrate our individual and team successes. We work hard to create a positive experience for everyone who engages with us.
