From the Board - Our Values

#PROUD TO BE TOWN

Why are we ‘Proud to be Town’? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? In truth it will mean different things to different people, but their are core values that thread through every aspect of the club, supporters, players, staff and volunteers. During the first Lockdown the club’s management, coaching staff, off-field staff and a number of volunteers fleshed out what #PTBT meant. We would like to share the outcome ETHICAL. GENUINE. HONEST MORAL. POSITIVE. RELIABLE INTUITIVE. PROUD. MODEST HUMILITY. UNITY. DECENCY AUTHENTIC. TRUSTWORTHY TEACHABLE. RESPONSIBLE CONSIDERATE. CONSISTENT RESPECTFUL. OPEN-MINDED ETHICAL. GENUINE.

OUR VALUES TRUST

Building and maintaining relationships in order to create trust, so we can understand each others roles and responsibilities, in order to work efficiently as a team to get things done. We are brave enough to take risks and make decisions whilst thinking ‘out-of-the-box’ whatever the challenge may be, to help take the club to new levels.

OUR VALUES RESPECT

We treat people fairly and impartially, respecting people’s opinions and beliefs to protect reputations and ensuring we always listen to both sides of the story. At the same time it is important to maintain a positive outlook and provide honest feedback whilst setting clear boundaries and trusting in people’s judgements and abilities.

OUR VALUES

HONESTY

We are open-minded and not overly judgemental or critical towards others and communicate clearly, never being afraid to be honest but ensuring we are honest with ourselves first. That honesty means we can discuss problems openly in order to consider all opinions and contributions to arrive at a solution, accepting that we can agree to disagree at times to maintain the ‘one-team’ ethos.
