Approachable
Our volunteers and members have an empathic attitude through which they are able to liaise with all members of the community regardless of age, gender and orientation. It is through this relationship BHDG engages with the community in order to conduct regular needs analyses.
Professional
We ensure our team is professional both in approach and support provided. This is developed through organised training sessions and relevant certification.
Personal
When offering our services, we treat every client/ community member as an individual appreciating their strengths and building on weaknesses. We identify and implement strategies based on this personal approach.
Effective
In order to aid timely progression, our members ensure that all targets are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. This approach, along with constructive partnerships means we are able to deliver specialist help and support.
