Our Core Beliefs

‘Community’ doesn’t just happen, and communities have to work hard to make sure no-one is excluded
That connected people are happier, healthier, people
That people are happiest when they’re able to help others, and to receive help in return
That place matters, and people need to feel genuinely involved in the place they live.
That settlements are a powerful force for positive change – and the Settlement Movement is more relevant than ever
That threads of shared culture, identity, history – and most of all, fun! -bring people together
