We are committed to anti-discriminatory practice. We know that those who are accessing our services are most likely to be impacted by systemic inequality, so it is integral that we are challenging, championing and proactively removing barriers in all aspects of our work.

Our strength lies in the diversity of our staff, volunteers and clients. This allows us to continue to create the most supportive and culturally competent services for our community. Together we build spaces where everyone is embraced, trusted and valued so they can be themselves and fulfil their potential.

Through a listening & learning journey we have taken time to educate ourselves, we have made significant progress, however we know that there will always be work to do. Over the next three years we will set out a clear action plan to ensure that anti-discriminatory practice is embedded throughout our core five priorities areas. We will not stop developing, sharing and working on this culture and we take pride in our workforce and all they bring to MindTHNR.
