    • YMCAfit British Values File

      Fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK.

      Fundamental British Values are not exclusive to being British and are shared by other democratic countries as a way of creating an orderly society, where individual members can feel safe, valued and can contribute for the good of themselves and others.

      The values were designed to balance freedom of thought, expression and choice in a liberal society with the need to maintain a safe and secure society.
