Ensuring that the people concerned are included at every stage of the project, while still maintaining a balance which allows the project to develop and gain stability.

We work hard to include our community in the planning, running and development of all our activities. This can also be seen in one of our guiding principles: 60% of our operational team consists of young people affected by mental health issues.
