Our Values and Behaviours
and what to do if you see behaviours that don’t fit with our culture
At the Lord’s Taverners, we are driven by our purpose to empower and positively impact the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality. We are led by our vision for every young person to overcome the challenges of inequality and achieve their potential. Our values and behaviours as employees, volunteers, members, stakeholders and partners are a demonstration of our commitment to leading an inclusive culture – a culture focused on the young people who participate in our programmes and the changes we can make to their lives. Not just for them but with them.
Our new values clearly demonstrate our commitment to achieving this.
We Include
We create a safe space in a community where everyone belongs. A happy place where friendships are made, where we are all respected.
We Empower
We encourage each other to be the best we can be. We support each other, building confidence through our personal and shared experiences.
We Inspire
We create a positive place to thrive. We take pride in the part that we play, as individuals and role models.
These will form our underlying principles. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to poor behaviour and urge you to let us know if you experience - or witness – behaviours that go against our values and principles, behaviours which are unethical and those which put our reputation at risk.
As a charity supporting thousands of young people, we all have a responsibility to behave in a way that safeguards our participants, each other and maintains our charity’s reputation.
