Help make our mission possible
No matter how big or small, every donation helps.
For Brightwater, no one is beyond care.
Here, we value the potential that lives inside each and every one of us, no matter what that looks like. It’s our ability to strive towards our best-self every day, to keep learning and to keep growing.
This drives all that we do.
Sure, it’s not always easy, but this journey that we’re on together comes with its own reward. This pursuit of independence brings with it the dignity of control over our own lives.
And everyone deserves the right to pursue that.
By pursuing the dignity of independence, we provide people with the means, knowledge, opportunity and strength to enable wellbeing and enjoy life’s possibilities.
Underpinning our mission is the Personhood approach, which is the feeling or sense of self we get from being in a social group, and what we do within that group. When our surrounding environment is positive and supportive, our self-esteem is reaffirmed and strengthened.
Care – we care about and for each other
Learning – we continually respond to our own and other people’s changing needs
Innovation – we harness our creative energy and transform it into activities and outcomes that make a difference
People – we recognise and respect each other and every person and value all the relationships which connect us
