The Forth Way' is of course a play on words. For 'Forth' read 'Fourth', not the public, private or voluntary sectors but a different way of doing things, meeting social objectives by unashamedly exploiting the tools of business. The Forth Way is also about the way we do things, professional, enterprising and supportive - the values we aspire to and the culture of the organisation.
