Mision Vision Values - our new kaupapa

Reaching our 30 year milestone, we took the opportunity to undertake some strategic work on our Mission Vision and Values here at Fifeshire Foundation. 

In November 2023 we held a Strategic hui with the Board, looking ahead to the next 30 years!

We confirmed we’re continuing on the path of ‘locals looking out for locals’, since our inception this has been a huge driving force behind the work we do. Our Mission, Vision and Values are outlined in more detail below.

OUR MISSION

We provide targeted and timely relief to people experiencing hardship or crisis in Nelson Tasman.  We are locals looking out for locals. 

OUR VISION

Because hardship and crisis happens, our vision is that:  

  • people experiencing hardship and crisis know they can seek help from the Fifeshire Foundation.  They will be respected, and their needs will be addressed in a fair and timely way.
