Our People, Culture & Wellbeing Committee

 

The People, Culture & Wellbeing Committee (PCW) is a collaborative network and support service. The Committee meets regularly with a member of the Senior Leadership Team to bring forward any ideas / concerns and influence the future of Access. Committee members choose whether to represent their service area or champion something they’re passionate about, like neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, lived experience or menopause.

Access has successfully fostered a family-oriented organisational culture for many years.

Which is respected and embraced by all employees and volunteers.
This culture ensures that compassionate support is consistently provided.

Our Values

All team members adhere to our five core workplace values, known as REACH:

RESPECT

We uphold and promote a sense of worth, and inclusivity for all individuals employed, and the customers we support daily across our diverse communities.

EXCELLENCE

We constantly strive to push the boundaries of achievement for both staff and customers. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality and value through simple and relevant solutions.

AMBITION

We are driven by passion and enthusiasm to reach vulnerable and socially isolated people without exception. Our services aim to raise aspirations for both employees and customers.

CREATIVITY

We create positive environments where all stakeholders have the opportunity to express themselves, question, and challenge each other. This fosters continuous improvement and innovation.

HONESTY

We deliver services with integrity, compassion, and the highest ethical standards. We encourage openness, empowering everyone to develop strong and consistent relationships.
