Our Values
We value the contributions of everyone who works or volunteers for us – whether that's directly with children, young people and their families or in fundraising, retail, administration and support services.
Our values include:
- Respecting the unique worth of every person - We believe that every person is different but equal, and that everyone’s unique talent should be recognised and encouraged.
- Encouraging people to fulfil their potential - We all need encouragement at times, and we aim to create opportunities for people to make the most of their abilities.
- Working with hope - Our hope for a better future for all children is the source of our inspiration.
- Exercising responsible stewardship - The commitment of our staff and volunteers to make the best use of resources enables us to help children, young people, and their families across the UK.
