  1. About us
  2. Our values

Our values

Our values have been co-produced by trustees and staff, and aspire to NCVO Charity Ethical Principles. They underpin our vision and mission and demonstrate the behaviour we expect from ourselves and others. They are all important – so we share them alphabetically.

Collaborative

You will see us:

  • being clear about our vision and mission as an organisation
  • proactively involving our members and stakeholders in our work, enabling their views and experiences to be listened to and taken into account
  • making sure when developing our policies, we have the interests of our members in mind
  • committed to collaboration and partnership working.

Compassionate

You will see us:

  • being kind and compassionate to each other and everyone we meet
  • creating an inclusive culture, where people’s wellbeing and mental health are valued and promoted
  • standing against abuse of trust and power including bullying, intimidation, harassment, discrimination or victimisation
  • being an open organisation, where everyone can see how we work, deal with any problems and how we spend our funds.

Inspirational

 You will see us:

  • being outward-looking, bold and proactive
  • empowering our sector and being passionate about their worth
  • challenging the status quo to make a positive difference in our local community
  • being relentless in our mission to achieve our vision
  • remaining independent and professional
  • being a role model for best practice

Integrity

You will see us:

  • behaving ethically and upholding the highest levels of institutional integrity and personal conduct at all times
  • being honest and accountable to our members and stakeholders
  • having good governance and systems in place to ensure all decisions are robust, defensible and free from conflicts of interest
  • considering the effects of activities conducted in private life on the reputation of the charity and of our sector in general
  • ensuring our resources are managed responsibly

Respect

You will see us:

  • being sensitive to the impact of our activities on both the natural and human environment
  • celebrating diversity – valuing people from all different cultures, backgrounds and races for the uniqueness that makes everyone an important part of the community
  • promoting equality of opportunity – understanding that some groups may face additional barriers, and take steps to remove them
  • supporting our staff and volunteers to reach their full potential
