Our values

Here at Step One Charity, we believe that our values apply to both staff and the people who come to us for support. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Valuing everyone
We give people the space and support they need to reach their full potential. This means creating an environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated. We always start with the person’s situation and needs, building from there with energy. We ensure everyone has a voice.
Being compassionate
We have a genuine ability to listen and understand how people feel and we use that ability to support them with kindness and compassion.
Working together
We collaborate well with each other and partner organisations, ensuring that everyone has the information they need to support people effectively.

Making a difference
We are committed to continuously improving and developing our specialist services, ensuring they are fit for purpose and making a positive difference to people. Our dedication extends to making an impact by advocating for those in need, being trauma-informed and engaging with our community.
Being adaptable
We are courageous and adaptable in our pursuit to improve access and the quality of our people-centered services, continuously learning, innovating, and persevering when faced with challenges. We feel safe to raise issues and work in an environment where we learn from our mistakes.
