Our Values

Our Values.

The DLF is founded by a Christian family and is established on Christian values. 

We remain spiritually inclusive, respectful and open to welcome families of the Christian faith, Other faiths and No faith.  We want to offer Hope, Faith & Love to families who reach out to us. 

Christ Centred

We will seek to follow Jesus’ model of love in our relationships with our Children and Young People diagnosed with brain tumours, their families and the wider community. 


We place a high value on prayer and on the vital importance of forming respectful relationships.  We will work with and nurture the healthy spiritual wellbeing of our families by offering prayer wherever or whenever it is requested.


Compassionate

We care about our community and allow that to motivate what we do for our Children and Young People diagnosed with brain tumours and their families.


We will value individual and community relationships and will work to demonstrate our understanding of the challenges these people face in the way we treat them – with compassion and love.

Family Centred

We value the family unit around the child/young person and will work to nurture this unit to ensure the child’s holistic wellbeing priorities are safely met.


We will consider and respect their thoughts and priorities and look for opportunities to support our families whenever we can.


Integrity

Integrity is core to what we do.  Therefore, we will be honest and transparent in our interactions, avoid making false promises and be truthful about our achievements and challenges.


We will represent and speak with integrity whenever we can and expect honesty from each other.

Courageous

We will be prepared to act with boldness, when faced with difficult challenges and address issues openly and respectfully when advocating for the under represented. 

 

We will act with courage in choosing the right thing to do and maintain fairness in the way we support our families.

Independent

We are an independent organisation and respond to the holistic wellbeing priorities of our Children and Young People diagnosed with brain tumours and their families. 


We work to complement the existing healthcare services around the child and will work with other child professionals to provide a holistic support framework that centres around the child and their family.
