Our Purpose, Vision and Values
Our vision is “to build strong community pride through Heritage”.
We want to build knowledge and appreciation of Rushen’s fine heritage and landscape and to involve all of the residents in some aspect of this. Residents can and are helping us by joining Heritage Action Groups (HATS); by volunteering; being interviewed; contributing memories; showing us pictures and artefacts; attending our exhibitions; getting involved in our competitions; downloading our new walking app; buying our publications and donating.
Our values are:
- Teamwork within and across our HATs.
- Accurate and balanced
- Exciting and fun to motivate volunteers and entice visitors.
- Broad appeal with worldwide interest and impact.
- Innovative with new approaches to Heritage and connecting the community.
- Open and inclusive with willingness to share material and welcome newcomers.
- Volunteer driven by the people who are our most important asset.
Our objectives are:
"To develop a highly motivated community, which preserves, enhances, and widely communicates ‘The Beautiful South’s unique culture and heritage in an exciting way for social and economic benefit.”
Our tag line is “Bringing People Together through Heritage” and we are as much about “people” – past and present – as about places and things and we want to bring back to life places and people who might otherwise be forgotten.
We also wish to attract more visitors to Rushen, through exhibitions, walking trails and other heritage initiatives.
