The future<br />

We live in uncertain times. In <strong>Redwoods</strong>, we are not<br />

immune to the pressures of the current financial and<br />

moral climate – but we choose to keep a long-term view<br />

and see the bigger picture from a higher perspective.<br />

Chris Townsend<br />

Managing Director<br />

In a world that has largely lost faith<br />

and hope in the future, I believe<br />

<strong>Redwoods</strong> offers to the people we<br />

are privileged to support and to<br />

its staff a hope and a future that is<br />

bright.<br />

I have a vision to see the amazing<br />

work that goes on in <strong>Redwoods</strong><br />

become visible to many more<br />

people – and this brochure is part<br />

of that vision.<br />

I have a vision to see <strong>Redwoods</strong><br />

as an organisation become<br />

increasingly resilient, to be able not<br />

only to withstand the pressures of<br />

the world to fit in by standing firm to<br />

what we believe but to show others<br />

that there is a better way, a way of<br />

truth and trust and restoration.<br />

I have a vision to see us support<br />

and empower many more people<br />

than we currently do – and I believe<br />

we have the ability, integrity and<br />

benevolence to do so.<br />

Paul of Tarsus wrote, “And now<br />

these three remain: faith, hope and<br />

love. But the greatest of these is<br />

love”.<br />

As you have read through the<br />

stories in this brochure I trust that<br />

some faith has been restored, that<br />

hope has risen within you and that<br />

you have experienced something<br />

of the love that is shared in the<br />

<strong>Redwoods</strong> family.<br />
