We undertake all our work through a ‘One Public Service’ lens and in line with the requirements of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (Wales) 2015.
Build rapport
quickly

We are authentic and build rapport quickly. Our healthy balance of skills, and a shared moral purpose, enable us to deliver diversity of thought and experience leading to a unique blend that is both creative and grounded in reality.
Maintaining Public Service Values

We are drawn from the public services. We have significant experience working in a wide range of public and third-sector settings and want to promote and cement public sector values in all that we do.
Services in English and Welsh

We provide our services in both Welsh and English. We do this because we want to, not because we must. We celebrate and champion Welsh culture with the language at its heart.
We give back in
multiple ways

We give back. We provide access to free quarterly workshops on public sector challenges that impact wellbeing in Wales. These are open to anyone working in the public or third sectors in Wales.
