Our Values
Non-judgemental
We provide non-judgemental support to women no matter what their circumstances are or the particular challenges they face.
Inclusive
Women of all ages and social backgrounds may need help to overcome barriers towards a safe and healthy future. Our support is available to all women regardless of age, ethnicity and religion.
Reliable
We never turn a woman in desperate need away and will signpost to other appropriate services providers to offer the support which she needs if we can’t help.
Professional
We are accountable and transparent about the outcomes of our programmes and impact of investments from funders and supporters.
Creative
We are open to developing new approaches and partnerships that will enable us to enhance the lives of more women who could benefit from our support across Derby.
Holistic
We support the whole person – not just one issue – assessing each service user’s particular needs and life goals and work with them as long as they need our support.
