Home / About Us / Principles

At YSS, we are proud to have a culture of adaptability, inclusion and holistic support. Our teams of Support Workers and Volunteers are based in our local communities. They help individuals across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Warwickshire to address difficulties and raise awareness of their rights and responsibilities. Whether we are supporting a child, a young person, an adult or a family we aim for our support to be holistic, in order to enable the individual to look to a more hopeful future.

Our standards

  • Support that is accessible and inclusive
  • Support that is rooted in our local community
  • Support that is adaptable and tactfully delivered
  • Support that is collaborative and considers the bigger picture

Our values

  • Inquisitive: We ask questions, and challenge conventions to spark ideas and learning
  • Adaptive: We are open to change. We are flexible in enabling people to overcome diverse situations or setbacks
  • Optimistic: We maintain a positive outlook and focus on practical solutions
  • Trustworthy: We are honest and reliable
  • Inclusive: We are looking for ways to minimise and remove barriers for individuals, whether they are staff, volunteers, or service users.
