Break the Silence has embedded a culture of continuous improvement within the charity, achieving EFQM’s Committed to Excellence accreditation in 2018, and again in 2022. In January 2024, we secured British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy Service Accreditation and in February 2024, we were awarded Winner of the Ayrshire Chamber’s prestigious Business Excellence Award. We strive to improve in all aspects of our work.
We endeavour to add value for our Clients, create a sustainable future, develop organisational capability, harness creativity and innovation, lead with vision, inspiration and integrity, manage with agility, succeed through the talent of our people and sustain outstanding results.
We have a Team of committed Board, Staff and Volunteers to help us achieve our aims. However, we would be unable to achieve this, or to provide the range, standard and quality of support without the investment and support of the following organisations.
On behalf of all at Break The Silence, our Clients that we support and the Communities who benefit from the results of our work, we are truly grateful and offer our thanks to you for choosing to support Break The Silence.
