Who We Are
Our name
The Olive tree is extremely resilient. Equipped to survive drought, sub zero temperatures, frost and even fire. Their roots are so strong that they can re-grow even when it seems like they’ve been completely decimated.
Even if the tree has been damaged, the roots can be reinvigorated and grow above the soil once again.
Our mission statement
The Olive Trust believes that each and every one of us has the capacity to learn and grow.
Just like the Olive tree, with the right conditions, including encouragement and space, everyone has the ability to heal and thrive.
