At Making Space, we are a team driven by a strong set of company values that guide us in our mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve in our community. Our values of Kind Hearts, Tailor Making, Dreaming Big, Having Courage, and Being Ready are at the core of everything we do.
Our focus on Kind Hearts is about generously building empathy and connection to create a sense of belonging. We believe that every person deserves to feel valued and respected.
Tailor making is about nurturing unique relationships to make every day count. We understand that every person’s needs are different, so we strive to provide customized support to ensure all those in our care can live their best lives.
Dreaming Big is about harnessing imagination to generate confidence in ourselves and others to take the first step. We believe that anything is possible when we set our minds to it.
Having Courage is about committing bravely to working in ways that take us to new places. Our team at Making Space makes a real change to those we serve, and we must be willing to take risks and be bold in our decision-making.
Being ready is about responding to whatever comes our way by moving forward together. Life can be unpredictable, but by working together, we can overcome any obstacles.
