Relate "the relationship people"
Working to promote strong and healthy relationships as the basis of a thriving society.
Relate is the leading national provider of relationship support. Relationships with family, partners, friends and colleagues play a big part in how happy we are. Whether you're facing difficulties, looking to strengthen your relationships, or want help thinking things through we're here to support you.
Our vision
Our vision is a future in which healthy relationships are actively promoted as the basis of a thriving society.
Our mission
Relate’s mission is to develop and support healthy relationships by:
Our values
Relationships
For the beauty, joy and learning they can bring to all. We value the personal courage needed to forge and sustain lasting relationships. We value the quality of the relationship and are non judgmental in supporting people to build healthy relationships whatever the circumstances.
People
People are at the heart of everything we do. We create and deliver services around clients and potential clients’ needs. We value our people (volunteers, staff and supporters).
Inclusion
We work to reach out, and to extend our services and transcend the barriers that people may face. We do this to ensure that people who might need or want our services can access them. We actively promote equal opportunities and diversity in all that we do.
Partnership
Together we are stronger, more effective and can make a bigger difference. We seek to influence and collaborate with others to achieve our vision.
Learning
We seek to reflect, review, research and evaluate practice to continuously learn and improve understanding of relationship support.
Relate Cheshire & Merseyside is a local charity, part of the national Relate federation, providing a wide range of support services including relationship counselling, sex therapy, family counselling, young people's counselling, and workshops and courses for both professionals and the public. Our work is based on evidence that shows a strong link between healthy relationships and better outcomes for both adult health and child development.
