Our commitment to Faithworks Charter
Motivated by our Christian faith, Together Liverpool is committed to serving others with integrity, compassion and respect. By adopting the Faithworks Charter, we aim to demonstrate a distinctively Christian ethos through our actions, partnerships, and service.
We will provide an inclusive service by:
- Serving and respecting all people, regardless of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or physical and mental capability.
- Upholding freedom of belief, acknowledging the right of people of all faiths and none to express their convictions respectfully and freely within UK law.
- Never imposing our Christian faith on others, but offering our support and service with humility and love.
- Collaborating widely, working with churches, voluntary groups, statutory bodies and local authorities to deliver integrated, effective services and avoid unnecessary duplication.
- Listening and responding, providing regular opportunities for those involved in or affected by our work to shape its direction and development.
We will value all individuals in a way that is distinctively Christian in ethos by:
- Creating a nurturing environment where all individuals involved in our work are encouraged and supported to realise their full potential.
- Supporting growth and development, offering both formal and informal training opportunities and encouraging lifelong learning.
- Fostering a culture of learning, where mistakes are opportunities for growth and excellence and innovation are celebrated.
- Promoting holistic wellbeing, recognising the importance of a balanced lifestyle as part of each person’s personal development.
- Adhering to employment law and applying best employment practices that reflect our ethos and values.
We will develop a professional approach to management, practice and funding by:
Being transparent and accountable, managing our funding responsibly and offering appropriate access to our financial records.
Implementing participatory leadership, ensuring our management structures encourage involvement at all levels to achieve our shared goals.
Setting measurable goals, reviewing outcomes annually, and regularly evaluating our work to remain effective, flexible and good stewards of our resources.
Diversifying our funding, taking steps to avoid over-reliance on any single funding source.
Prioritising safety, applying best practices in Health and Safety and Safeguarding to protect everyone involved in our work.
