Our Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
To see people’s lives being changed for good and forever as they are released from poverty, trauma and exploitation, and receive eternal life through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
To show God’s love, and offer the compassion, relief and hope that can change lives for good and forever.
– We bring good into times of crisis and extreme poverty through acts of kindness and the provision of immediate relief.
– We help people to change their longer-term futures for good through education and rehabilitation.
– In all our work, we seek to tell people of Gods love in sending his only Son, Jesus, so that those who believe in him might not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). This is the good news that can change lives forever.
We believe we can have the greatest impact for good by reaching out to people who are experiencing the greatest disadvantage. Working with local partners who understand the needs of their communities, we have opportunities to serve people in parts of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
Our Core Beliefs and Values
In all we say and do, wherever we are represented, at home and abroad, we want everyone to know that we believe our greatest need is to have Jesus Christ as our Saviour.
We always seek to serve both physical and spiritual needs.
We are committed to caring for and loving people regardless of their background or beliefs.
We value our staff, volunteers, customers, supporters, partners and beneficiaries and want them all to experience good and full lives, now and forever.
We are committed to transparency and accountability in our stewardship of all the resources donated or raised for the work of Blythswood to help us bring change for good.
We are committed to continuous improvement in all our activities. This includes supporting our partners as they work towards sustainability through improved planning and governance, local fundraising, commercial activities and exploring other partnership opportunities.
