Our culture and values

Collaborative

We work with older people and partners to deliver services that are needed and wanted. We can’t achieve change on our own -we make more of an impact when we work together.

Committed

We deliver, train, connect, influence. We are a group of people who never give up and are fully committed to improving the lives of older people through activity in whatever way we can.

Creative

We embrace creativity. We like to try and test new approaches, new partnerships, new ways of working. We aren’t frightened of taking risks and possibly making mistakes. We encourage flexible and personalised ways of working. 

Collaborative

We fully understand the value of togetherness and work hard to create supportive and inclusive communities for older people in whatever way we can. We listen to our staff and have a open and inclusive culture 

Compassionate

We love what we do and who we work with. We are passionate about improving the lives of older people and strive to create a positive and engaging work culture in which we can all grow and make a difference together. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to ensuring our culture is inclusive, open and supportive. We listen to our staff and allow individualities to be heard. We work together, ensuring people work in the best way suited to them and the organisation, allowing people to be the best they can be.
