Mission Statement

BASE 51 adopts the World Health Organisation's definition of health:

"Health is a state of optimal physical and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

It aims to provide a model of holistic health care by providing a comprehensive, full time drop-in service offering realistic help, and advice that reflects the needs of young people aged 12 - 25 years, living in the Nottinghamshire area.

Equal Opportunities Statement

BASE 51 has a commitment to an active Equal Opportunites Policy in order to counter all kinds of discrimination against individuals or groups.

BASE 51 is commited to putting into practice a coherant Equal Opportunities Policy, which will enable any young person to have equal access to all services offered by the Project.

To the same end, it is considered important that both paid and unpaid workers employed by the Project also reflect, as far as possible, the different social groups in the community in order to offer sensitive provision to those young people who approach the Project for advice and support. There is an Equal Opportunities recruitment and selection policy, which endeavors to recruit fairly and efficiently for all available posts.

The Project's day to day running reflects its Equal Opportunities Policy by positive action in the way young people are welcomed and encouraged to take part in the Project.

BASE 51 reflects on it's practice by having active monitoring procedures ensuring that Equality of Opportunity is practised at all levels.
