ACT’s statements of principles
Community Buildings

ACT has developed these Statements of Principles with our Staff and Trustee teams and with the people who we work with on these issues.

Our core principles are:

  • We work with, not for people
  • We take a community development approach starting where people are and help them see and achieve what they want to do
  • We are honest and realistic with people about their aspirations and the policy and practical contexts we know about
  • We aim to be honest brokers with and between various partners as needed
  • We collect feedback as we work and share that to inform policy and practise
  • We aim to help you achieve, rather than delivering for you.
