Guiding Principles

Our Core Values

My Community operates on five core Guiding Principles:

Passion

We strongly believe that enthusiasm and excitement are the cornerstone of My Community’s work. We are committed to the community we serve and the work we do.

Inclusivity

We work with all volunteers regardless of race, age, culture, gender identity and religious affiliation. The organisation strives to be a safe and inclusive space for all staff and volunteers. We do not tolerate any form of bullying and harassment within the organisation.

Collaboration/Community-centrism

My Community adopts a collaborative and community-centred approach to the work we do. We are people-centric team players.

Accessibility

As part of our community-centred approach in running the organisation, we are committed to ensuring that community heritage is accessible to all. This means ensuring that our museum spaces, activities and events are open to one and all at no cost where possible.

Sustainability

We ensure our programmes are sustainable by focusing on people and planning for the long-term. This means that we strive to form and maintain good relationships with the community, volunteers, donors and our community partners.
