Our staff are the driving force behind all of our activities. Each one of them bring a wealth of passion, dedication and fun to their roles.

Relational
We value meaningful connections. We show respect, empathy and compassion to those we engage with.
Responsive to Need
We offer both practical and emotional support. In meeting those in crisis we always look to offer a suitable next step.
Holistic
We are whole person rather than single issue focused. We recognise the multiple needs of each person we work with.
Transparent
What you see is what you get. We believe in honesty, integrity and openness in all our interactions, operations and finances.
Collaborative
We love to work in partnership. We believe that cooperation enables us to be far more effective.
Nothing is more important to us than the protection of children, young people and adults at risk who engage with Imagine If Trust -whether you are a service user, employee, participant, or volunteer, you have the right to feel safe and protected when you participate in any of our services.
As a charity we will ensure that we have the right safeguarding people, processes and systems in place to systematically monitor and minimise the risks to our stakeholders, and to respond rapidly and effectively to safeguarding issues as they occur. This policy sets out how our safeguarding framework achieves this.
We seek to create a safe and welcoming environment, where our safeguarding practice is widely understood and openly discussed, and where the workforce recognises the role they play in keeping children, young people, adults at risk, themselves and their colleagues, safe from harm.

Imagine If Trust’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement
At Imagine If Trust, our six core values drive everything we do as an organisation. These values are not just buzzwords; they are essential for fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. Aligned with these core values, our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I) supports our goal of building stronger, more inclusive communities.
Our Six Core Values and ED&I
Faith motivated: Our commitment to ED&I is rooted in our faith-driven mission to serve and uplift all individuals, ensuring dignity and fairness for everyone.
Relational: We build genuine connections, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued within our organisation and the communities we serve.
Responsive to need: We actively listen and adapt our practices to meet the diverse and evolving needs of individuals and communities.
Holistic: Our approach to ED&I considers the whole person, recognising that true inclusion goes beyond policies and must be embedded in everyday actions.
Transparent: We hold ourselves accountable to being open and honest in how we implement ED&I, fostering trust and integrity in all we do.
Collaborative: We believe in working together—Trustees, staff, service users, and partners—to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
What Do We Mean by Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion?
Equality: Treating people fairly in a way that reflects their needs, ensuring they have equal opportunities to achieve their desired outcomes, and actively eliminating discrimination.
Diversity: Recognising, valuing, and respecting the differences in people, such as their backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
Inclusion: Creating an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, and valued, enabling them to participate fully and contribute to the organisation's success.
To ensure that our commitment to ED&I is genuinely realised, the Imagine If Trust Board has established an ED&I sub-committee. This group provides a platform where Trustees, staff members, and service users can be heard and contribute to decisions that shape our organisation's inclusive culture.
We believe that by embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion into everything we do—guided by our six core values—we can create a more just and compassionate society for all.
