Harpenden Trust Values - 2: Community Spirit

The Harpenden Trust is delighted to reveal the new Trust values. These values reflect our beliefs, define our culture and standards and set out what we stand for.

In defining US, we asked ourselves –

What does the Harpenden Trust mean to us?

What guides the decisions we make?
What one thing do we want to be remembered for?
Why do volunteers stay with us?

Our values guide our thinking and our actions, and help us to truly define what is important, beautiful and worthwhile in the work of the Harpenden Trust. Going forward, these values will be embedded even more firmly in everything we do as well as in our organisational processes. We are proud to share them with you, continuing today with Value 2:

Community Spirit

We are a good neighbour in a warm and professional manner, we are giving our time, not for personal gain, or begrudgingly, but because we care about our community. We partner and collaborate with many other local organisations, including the PCN (consisting of our 3 GP surgeries), Harpenden Library and the EMC, all working together for the good of our community.
