Through a collaborative co-design process involving individuals with lived experience, carers, community members and practitioners, a set of Key Principles was established to guide the values and ethos of the Yor Community Wellbeing Hubs.

Our Key Principles

Inclusion:

  • everyone is welcome
  • meet access needs, such as disability, language, food

Choice:

  • you choose how and when to get support
  • pick your environment, support staff, and communication method

Understanding:

  • staff don’t judge, they listen and support your needs
  • you’re seen as a person, not just a diagnosis

Equality:

  • fair treatment for all
  • groups available for specific needs, such as LGBTQ+, parents, bereavement, carers

Strength:

  • we focus on what you’re good at and what’s worked for you before
  • you can get involved, volunteer, and share your skills

Community:

  • support goes beyond the Hub - into your life and community
  • we work with families and connect with other services

The Hubs are dedicated to putting these principles into practice through everything we do.

Our Mission and Vision

Why:

  • no one should face mental health challenges alone; everyone deserves support that is personal, flexible, and rooted in their community
  • by working together, we can build the foundations for good mental health and wellbeing for all

How:

  • our work is led by experts, experience and communities, in equal partnership with the voluntary sector and health and social care
  • together, we design support that is personal, connected, and inclusive, creating a flexible wellbeing network through local Hubs

What:

  • Hubs are welcoming spaces that offer practical help, emotional support, and opportunities to connect
  • through local Hubs you can access a range of support, in a way that works best for you
