Individuals are supported to reach for their goals no matter how big or small. The team operates with a ‘whatever it takes’ philosophy.
"This is so relevant to the people we work with. Generally they are quickly judged, labeled and put in a box. In our experience, most don't fit that box, they only need a pathway, love and support." - The cookie thief, a powerful short story.
