Venustia

Venustia's vision & mission:

Our vision at Venustia is to create a space of safety and sustainability. An area where inclusivity is embraced and celebrated. We wish to engage with the communities around us and to invest our time in social impact projects. Our mission is to nurture the vibrant culture Venustia has to offer amongst newcomers as well as our senior swans. We strive to fully embrace our motto ‘Beauty through strength’ along with the Institutional values, to breed the confident and empowering Swans that shine through in different communities.
