About COPE
COPE was never about growing an empire but an idea to be shared with others for them to take forward in a way that meets their needs. The journey to improving health, wellbeing, and fostering a kinder world for all is a marathon relay race. You never own the baton; you look after it as well as you can, for as long as you can, and take it further than the person who passed it to you. In time, you too will pass the baton on. It's not what we achieve as individual organizations that matters most, but the difference we make in the lives of others through our collective efforts. We genuinely care and it matters to us that what we do makes a positive difference, even if only in a small way.
We are known for our integrity of purpose.
