✨✨Our New Mission Statement

We are extremely proud to share our newly refreshed mission statement:

“At Hesley Group, we put people we support first. We help every person to stay safe, feel supported, and achieve their dreams.”

Over the last few months, we undertook a meaningful and inclusive process to ensure our mission reflects the voices of the people who matter most, people we support, their families, and our colleagues. Here’s how we shaped the final statement:

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ People we support took part in a dedicated focus group, supported by Speech and Language Therapists and Therapy Assistants. They helped us understand what language felt respectful, meaningful, and important, especially around staying safe, being supported, and achieving dreams.

📝 Colleagues and families contributed through an organisation-wide poll, highlighting the importance of putting people first, supporting aspirations, and helping individuals thrive.

🦻We listened closely to what words felt right and what did not. The term “people we support” was strongly preferred, and we removed language that did not resonate.

By bringing these voices together, we created a mission statement that is clear, warm, and true to who we are as an organisation.

We are excited to embed this mission into everything we do, across our services, our culture, and our future.💙💚

Thank you to everyone who contributed. This mission belongs to all of us.

Our values – Putting People First, Passionate About Quality, Progress Focused, Prioritising Safety – guided everything we did. We strengthened Capable Environments, expanded our San Martin Scale work, and deepened our commitment to quality and safety.

Our Positive Behaviour Support programme created meaningful change, reducing physical interventions and delivering more proactive, person-centred support.

✅ Families & Voices
Family Forums grew stronger, parents shared with us their experiences and our new magazine, Great Things Happen Every Day, became a vibrant platform for stories, achievements, and learner contributions.

✅ Our People
We celebrated qualifications, long service, wellbeing, and achievements. We launched the WeAreHG portal and proudly became a Real Living Wage employer, recognising the dedication and compassion of our colleagues.

✅ Recognition Across HG
Colleagues and teams were recognised through awards, nominations, and shortlistings - highlighting excellence, innovation, leadership, teamwork, and PBS practice.

✅ £50,000 Raised in Our 50th Year
A huge highlight: we reached our £50k fundraising target through events, challenges, and community effort - an incredible achievement.

Looking Ahead to 2026
We move into 2026 with exciting developments, new colleagues joining us, and the launch of our refreshed mission statement - all focused on delivering even better outcomes.
