Our Vision

The vision of Redwoods is to reveal God’s heart of love, care and wholeness to people who have learning disabilities.  We seek to recognise and realise their potential, supporting them to accomplish their dreams and live fulfilled lives.  We honour, respect and value each person and their family.

The way we work

The following values underpin everything we do:
