Our Values

Our Values guide everything we do – from how we show up for each other, to how we support our communities. At FBV, you will find a team that lives and breathes:

Fair is our fare. In our house, the right to say something sits right next to the rite of listening. Everyone is unique but treated the same.

You came here to make a difference, so we better let you do it!

Just because we’re a charity doesn’t mean it comes for free. In everything we do, we put our money where other people’s mouths are. For people to support us, trust is a must.  

It’s how we talk and walk with each other. Top of mind is being kind. It can be learned and earned but never spurned. 

Sounds kinda scary, but if you’ve thought about it, wrought about it and done your best… then you’ve probably nailed this one.

You’re free to be ‘me’, respectfully. We celebrate more than tolerate the many things that make us different but have brought us to the same place.
