About Aysgarth | Aysgarth values
- Love our neighbours as ourselves
- Make the most of our talents
- Be courageous in all we do
What does this mean?
1. Love our neighbours as ourselves. This should include:
- Kindness – giving to others time, help and sharing possessions
- Respect - views, differences and property of others and the environment
- Integrity – honesty, trustworthiness and loyalty
- Humility – not thinking more highly of ourselves than we should
- Forgiveness – indeed, we should be prepared to love our enemies
Our love should be directed in three ways:
- For ourselves – accepting ourselves as we are
- For neighbours – love for others starts with the people with whom we live
- For the world – seeking to serve others in the wider world
2. Make the most of our talents
- Identify our talents and believe that we have talents
- Work hard to make the most of all our talents
- Show determination in not giving up when things get difficult
3. Be courageous in all that we do
- Stand up for our beliefs and values
- Support those who need our support
If we learn to follow these values, we will be good friends to others and good citizens in the world as well as being happier people.
