OUR VISION
Our vision is that of a caring, inclusive society where everyone matters, has a sense of belonging and works positively in the service of others.
PATH recruits new team members through a process based upon our values, which inspire, challenge, and motivate us as an organisation. They permeate the work and behaviour of everyone at PATH and underpin the decision-making process.
Our values are represented through the four Ps:
People
PATH believes in people and is committed to developing the skills and unlocking the full potential of our service-users. We work to empower those affected by homelessness to make decisions, set goals and gain confidence so they can shape their own futures.
Prevention
PATH is committed to tackling the underlying causes of homelessness and social exclusion. We believe that we can play a pivotal role in early prevention of the social and economic factors that lead to homelessness. Through this understanding we want to inspire people to realise their role in creating a more ethical and caring society that supports and provides service to others.
Partnership
We are an active organisation in tackling homelessness - working in partnership with Government, local authorities, the private sector, churches and other voluntary agencies. Together we achieve the best possible outcome for people experiencing homelessness. Working through an integrated approach we believe in offering the support, education, and skills so that service users can be the best they can be. We believe in equality and opportunity for all, so that every individual can live a life that is both fulfilling and rewarding.
Purpose
PATH believes it has a purpose to respect the dignity, justice and rights of all. These rights must be upheld and safeguarded. Within our organisation the duty to consider and uphold the rights and responsibilities of staff, volunteers and service users is paramount. Our partners and trustees have a right to expect a consistently high level of service and integrity. We are committed to delivering it.
