Our playbook

Play as a team
We think like a professional rugby team. We care about each other and look after each other but we always hold each other to account. We are here to perform and we care about every 1% because we know that they make the difference when added together. If we each do our job well, hundreds of young people have a better shot at life, and that’s worth playing for.

High energy
We always operate with energy, showing young people that a positive mindset and commitment to action is the hardest step on any journey. For us, the way we play is as important as what we achieve. Win or lose, attitude is everything.

Future focused
Everyone makes mistakes, including us. We always focus on what we learned and how we can do things differently in the future. We believe life is about learning from your mistakes, not letting them define you.

Tell it like it is
We believe in calling things straight. Honesty is always the best policy and direct, transparent feedback is powerful. We always do it with respect.
