Capability Scotland Matters - Summer 2022

Making Our Mark
Capability Scotland’s New Vision, Mission & Values
As Capability Scotland comes
near the end of our current fiveyear
business strategy, we’ve
been thinking about what we stand for
as a charity, how to make our mark.
Our new strategic plan is still under
development but we wanted to share
with you, our community, our new
vision, our new mission, and most
importantly, the values that provide the
foundation of our Caring Support.
Our Vision
We will strive to deliver the highest quality
services, tailored to the individual needs of
disabled people.
We will work in partnership to create
innovative solutions which enable our
people to achieve their goals.
We will put our customers and learners at
the heart of everything we do and will
make sure their voices are heard loud and
clear.
Our Mission
An inclusive Scotland where everyone
has the opportunity to have their voice
heard, contribute to society and fulfil their
potential.
Our Values
Kind
We will show all of our people
kindness, dignity and compassion
through our actions and words.
Inclusive
We will treat people with respect,
value the opinions of others
and celebrate diversity.
Open & Honest
We will always strive to do
the right thing and will build
trust by being transparent.
Aspirational
We will enable one another to
achieve our ambitions and will
seek to always do better.
Creative
We will push boundaries,
explore alternatives and seek
new innovative solutions.
For over 75 years, our people have
been making their mark on the lives
of disabled people. Whether that’s
supporting people to live their best
life, educating our young people,
volunteering or providing behindthe-scenes
support to keep our
charity running smoothly, we want
everyone to have a meaningful
impact in everything they do.
And the mark that each individual
makes will be unique to them but all of
us will be guided by our core values –
values which should be baked in to our
DNA. Wherever and whenever people
come into contact with Capability
Scotland, those are the values, the
behaviours, which should be on display.
We want you, our CS Community, to tell
us when you see our people exhibiting
those values – it might be an act of
kindness, it might be helping someone
achieve their ambitions, it might be an
open and honest conversation, it might
be someone coming up with a brilliant
creative idea or it might be making
someone feel included. Let us know
whenever you see someone making
their mark and living our values.
