Our Vision
& Values

Glasgow Initiative of Facilitation and Therapy was founded to support the mental health and wellbeing of individuals and groups creatively with our arts therapies services in schools and communities across the city. As GIFT has grown, we have widened the support that we offer to include creative consultancy. We aim to inspire, empower and collaborate with the organisations and communities that we work with to create opportunities for people to connect, be creative and be heard.

GIFT promises to honour the following values in everything that we do:

  • Building trust and nurturing relationships

  • Being open, honest and respectful with everyone we work with

  • Listening to the people that we work with and responding to their needs, and allowing their voices to be heard

  • Encouraging creative expression and having fun!

  • Providing safe spaces for creativity

Our Promise

By adopting the Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) approach, we at the Glasgow Initiative of Facilitation & Therapy can ensure that children and young people receive the right help, from the right people, at the right time.

We are also fully committed to protecting and promoting children’s rights across Glasgow and Scotland by incorporating the rights set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in everything we do.
