All people are treated with dignity and respect, valuing the diversity of all.
Equality of opportunity and diversity in volunteering and employment is promoted.
Discrimination on grounds of race, gender, marital status, caring responsibilities, disability, gender re-assignment, age, social class, sexual orientation, religion/ belief, irrelevant offending background or any other factor irrelevant to the purpose in view is eliminated.
Services are accessible, appropriate, and delivered fairly to all.
The mix of its employees, volunteers and management committee reflects, as far as possible, the broad mix of the population of its local community.
