our core values

Our Core Values articulate the principles and style that are central to the way we seek to operate as an organisation and treat those we come into contact with. Every member of staff and volunteer are committed to making these Core Values a reality in everything Spurgeons does.

Our Core Values are that:

We are Caring
We recognise that a central need of all people is to feel safe, valued and loved. In all our relationships we seek to demonstrate care, compassion and commitment, to be affirming and nonjudgmental.

We are Inclusive
We recognise each person as a unique individual, treating them with respect and celebrating our diversity.

We are Holistic
We deal with people in a holistic way showing concern for every aspect of their lives and seeking justice when people are treated unfairly.

We are Hopeful
We believe that positive change is possible for all people, so seek to maintain a hopeful attitude that does not easily give up. We therefore have a proactive approach and a can-do mentality.

We are Responsive
We have a flexible approach that is responsive to the different needs we encounter. We seek to be creative and innovative and are prepared to look for new solutions.

We are Professional
We set ourselves high standards seeking quality and will learn from our mistakes in an open and honest way. We welcome partnership with others who share our Core Values.
