The Winch Beliefs and Values

We believe:

 More can be done to transform the life chances of children growing up in poverty. Every child deserves the chance to flourish.  Every child has the potential, meaning the capabilities and the strengths, to succeed.  There is no shortage of expertise and goodwill to support children and young people but what is needed is to get everyone together to support each individual. To transform life chances we must engage both the child and their ecology, that is the systems and interactions, which affect the development and opportunities. Community is central to children’s wellbeing: it takes a village to raise a child.

We’re committed to the following values:

 Act with integrity because we believe that authenticity must lie at the heart of what we do.  Be ready for anything because we recognise that others’ lives and situations require us to be flexible and responsive.  Go the extra mile because we understand that additional commitment is often needed to make a difference, whether to a child or a professional.  Show compassion because we see each person we work with as a unique individual and part of our family.  Take the initiative because we feel that too often interventions fail or systems miss the point because nobody is being proactive and seeking out solutions.  Work collaboratively because we believe that children, parents and everyone committed to supporting them are part of the solution.
