Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness, but we stand for much more than that…
“KCAH provides immediate, professional support with nonjudgmental empathy and clear options, supporting people to secure and maintain a safe, stable home.”
We strive to do this by embodying our core values:
• DIGNITY – KCAH strives to be a caring organisation that values and respects the dignity, independence and individuality of people experiencing homelessness and people at housing risk. It is committed to working with clients to achieve the best outcome for them and in such a way as to enable and empower them.
• EMPATHY – We believe in individual potential and are nonjudgmental and empathetic in the way we deal with others.
• PROFESSIONALISM – We are professional in the way we operate and determined and purposeful in the way we deal with the causes we support.
• INTEGRITY – We are accountable. We take ownership of our actions and decisions, communicate transparently and are responsible for our outcomes. We foster trust with our clients by doing what we say we will. When things don’t go according to plan, we are honest and take responsibility to improve.
Alongside our service ethos, we will seek to demonstrate these values in everything we do: from our interactions with the people we support, to how we treat each other as colleagues, to how we work with our partners.
