OUR VALUES

We collaborate

We work together with the whole community to realise personal aspirations, to make decisions, to set goals, and to promote independence. We believe in the power of volunteering, and we are committed to collaborating with the users of our services to develop core skills, create possibilities, and to unlock their full potential. 

We are inclusive

We care about our community, and we believe that when people feel supported, change happens. The Help In Hub works with all people and treats everyone with respect, integrity, ethically and free from bias. We act openly and transparently to benefit our South Essex communities.

We adapt

We are creative and adaptive, and we can move quickly to meet the changing needs of our communities.

We care

Because we care, we can and do change the lives of people who most need our support.

Our impact.

We deliver services that strengthen our community. Last year alone, we helped 5612 people in the Southend area to increase their skills, improve employment prospects, and help them access the right services.

In 2020, we were awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.  Awarded in recognition of our contribution to the Southend community, this is the highest award that a voluntary group can receive in the UK and is given to organisations delivering exceptional service within their communities.

“We are delighted that your group’s work to provide wide-ranging services in Southend has been recognised, pay tribute to hard work and commitment of your volunteers and dedicated staff.”
Mrs Jennifer Tolhurst, Lord Lieutenant of Essex
