Heritage Services - Our Vision



From the past, now, and for the future
Together we shall preserve Leicestershire's heritage, care for our environment and encourage creativity, inspiration and delight.
Beliefs
Our Vision is rooted in diversity, creativity, innovation and excellence, from which flow the following beliefs:
  • that access for everyone is the most important thing that we can work to achieve.
  • that everyone’s heritage, their environment and the arts are important and that our role is to encourage people to explore and enjoy them.
  • that we care for an important and special resource for all the community to use and enjoy.
  • that our unique collections reflect the past, inform our present and inspire the future.
  • that our customers, visitors, users and colleagues should be treated with respect.  We will try to understand their needs and respond to them promptly.
  • that Quality is important and we are committed to providing quality services with enthusiasm, efficiency and professionalism.
  • that the rich variety of our services is a strength, which we should develop.
  • that working in partnerships, with members of the community and other organisations, is an effective way of sharing skills, knowledge and resources.
  • that our staff should be trained, developed and enabled to carry out their jobs to the best of their abilities.
  • that it is our duty to establish and maintain a safe and welcoming environment for our colleagues and visitors.
  • that we should aim to provide services that are of a high standard, are open to all and demonstrate value for money.
