Banner Welcome to Mungo Foundation
There are different dimensions to community and many definitions. Two dimensions help to articulate the commitment to the value of community which we hold. The first indicates the way in which people live and work together in our services. The second describes the relationships which we develop with the wider geographical local community. In each instance the commitment is to build communities based on supportive and just relationships. The aim of The Mungo Foundation is to form relationships which are conducive to growth and development while recognising the specific rights of the individual.
