The Foyer Federation is a youth charity working to get the best deal for young people experiencing homelessness.

Our values

We have five core values that are important to our organisation, and which we seek to uphold in everything we do:

Authentic: Leadership starts with being authentic. It’s about ‘being comfortable in your own skin and not trying to be someone you’re not

Brave: This is about ‘having the quiet, inner confidence to stand up for what really matters to you

Maverick: Mavericks are born to ‘be original, quirky, maybe even a bit unpopular, to shake things up and make them better

Loving: Love is at the heart of everything we do. It’s about ‘genuinely looking out for the world and people around us, knowing when to be tough and when to be kind

Savvy: Savvy isn’t a sophisticated science; it’s a mindset. It’s about ‘having one eye in the NOW and the other on the end game

Our D&I commitment

The Foyer Federation is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among
our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients and stakeholders, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

The organisation is also committed against unlawful discrimination of clients, stakeholders or the public.

The organisation commits to:

• Encourage equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace as they are good
  practice and make business sense.
• Create a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and
  unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, and where individual
  differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued.

This commitment includes training managers and all other employees about their rights and responsibilities under the equality, diversity and inclusion policy. Responsibilities include staff conducting themselves to help the organisation provide equal opportunities in employment, and prevent bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination.

We have a full D&I policy, not detailed in full here. It is based on the ACAS Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Policy.
