Working together to break the cycle of homelessness
![Page 24: How to Run Stand-Out Charity Events](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020301/58f9b0e2760da3da068bbb9b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
OUR JOURNEY TO RELEVANCE
“What makes it such a great venue is the scale of the curatorial ambition”
![Page 25: How to Run Stand-Out Charity Events](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020301/58f9b0e2760da3da068bbb9b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Our vision is to create a fairer society, where lasting paid employment is a reality for those affected by homelessness and social exclusion.
OUR VISION
OUR PLEDGES
Work together to break the cycle of homelessness. Create a community of social change makers. Show the power and potential of mixing social and cultural landscapes to create new experiences and pathways for those in society who will benefit most.
![Page 26: How to Run Stand-Out Charity Events](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020301/58f9b0e2760da3da068bbb9b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We believe that culture and the envi ronment we create are powerful tools to help us define how we live our lives. In our experience those who are socially excluded are often culturally excluded.
