Mission, Vision and Core Values

The purpose of what we do

 Our Mission

To create a more connected and compassionate world by restoring gentleness, presence, and human connection to the heart of life.

To nurture personal wellbeing and inspire systemic change—building bridges across communities and cultivating a culture rooted in compassion, generosity, and meaningful connection. 

 

Our vision 

A world where touch is a natural, visible, and safe expression of care — where humans meet one another with gentleness, presence, and joy.

A world where we live in gentleness, with ourselves and each other, restoring compassionate connection to the core of how we live and relate. 

A world where difference is respected, not feared; where we come together, listen deeply and co-create a more harmonious abundant world for all.

The Benefits of A Touch of Gentleness

 
 
“The fittest may also be the gentlest because survival often requires mutual help and co-operation.

Our 4 Core Values

Simplicity
We keep things clear and accessible — trusting that the smallest, simplest actions can transform lives.
Compassion
We meet people where they are, without judgment —honouring our shared humanity and valuing the beauty of our differences.  Everyone deserves to feel safe, seen and heard.
Generosity
We share freely, recognising connection as a human birthright — never a transaction. In serving others, we serve ourselves.
Integrity
We stay true to gentleness — strength wrapped in peace — responding with care and presence in everything we do.
 

Alongside our grassroots work in communities and with service providers, we’ve expanded our reach into schools, workplaces, and organisations. While each programme is tailored to its setting, all are united by a common thread: strengthening connection and communication whilst nurturing a culture of cohesion and wellbeing through the healing power of gentleness.

"In the past, jobs were about muscles, now they're about brains, but in the future they'll be about the heart,"
