CORE VALUES
Connection: Connecting communities, building partnerships, funding and local expertise to improve the wellbeing of children and young people. Partnerships over competition.
Innovation: We work via a circle of initiation, collaboration, community benefits, individual benefits.
Inclusion: We strive to ensure that opportunities are accessible, welcoming and responsive to diverse needs and backgrounds.
Impact: As with any forward-thinking system, the whole purpose is to create an impact. The aim is for a measurable impact on well being so we know what we’re doing is needed, and works.
Growth: YELLOWRHINO CIC aims to grow in order to support more young people. We aim to bring our projects and opportunities to other areas of the UK where possible.
WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM?
The inspiration behind the name comes from a local statue to the home of two of the founders for some years in Plymouth. The Plymstock Rhino is found near a roundabout in Plymstock and represents some fossilised remains of animals found nearby.
As an animal itself the rhino is named after its famous horn. It’s a real life unicorn! Or as we like to think of it - a UNIQUE HORN. Think of using this horn to charge at life - to tackle a difficult situation head on and not hide away from it. Like some of us, rhinos may look tough, but their skin is actually quite sensitive. You can find them in various places around the world, with grounded strength, varying in type and personality.
Yellow. A bright, happy, primary colour, reflective of a safe nervous system, yellow can signify different emotions and meanings, but the ones we love to associate with are freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honour, loyalty, and joy.
