It is vital for Fusion to have a clear understanding of the values that underpin Fusion's work. The programs Fusion runs may vary and change, but the values that inform our action remain constant. There are five broad values that underpin all that Fusion is and does. It is from these core values we derive our response to specific questions as they arise.
Justice
Fusion is committed to work for justice at all levels, whether it be in advocacy with governments or simply how we treat each other in our regular relationships.
Mercy
Fusion is committed to help people see each other, whether be helping and understanding their communities or simply helping Fusion members create an environment where every person is seen and valued for who they are.
Compassion
Compassion is moving past our own self absorption to love and care for others. It is as a result of this value that you will occasionally hear us refer ourselves as a "community of care".
Respect
Respect is the recognition of that every person has priceless value, and all have a gift that we are only able to receive when we see them as separate and unique individuals. Fusion will want to work against "dehumanising" forces which would seen a person as something less than unique and invaluable, whether they be in society generally, educational systems or in the way we treat each other.
Industry
Industry is the recognition that we all have a contribution to make to society, and we will only be fully alive as we are free to exercise our given gifts productively. At the level of Fusion team this value means that we work to ensure each team member is given a real and meaningful role which helps the whole team move towards their goals.
