Hamburg Leuchtfeuer‘s Mission Statement and Core Values

Since the founding of Hamburg Leuchtfeuer, our goal has always been to create appreciative, dignified, and worthwhile services for people in special life situations. Our services were created severely and chronically ill people, people with Aids and HIV, dying and grieving people, as well as their families and friends. Everything we do is determined and guided by our three core values:

Solidarity

Hamburg Leuchtfeuer is an open and safe place for our target groups and for the people who come to us – regardless of age, social and ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, physical and mental abilities, as well as religion and worldview. This diversity is visible through our clear and active public stance. We also cooperate with other organizations, institutions, and initiatives that share our values. Following this principles, we strive to be an anchor for our target groups in the best possible way and to exert social influence.

Professionalism

At Hamburg Leuchtfeuer, we work in a goal-oriented and solution-oriented manner. We maintain high quality standards based on our expertise and experience. Clear structures, clear responsibilities, and continuous staff development help us achieve this. Furthermore, the use of modern and future-oriented technology plays a crucial role in our striving for a professional work environment.

Connectedness

We treat people equally with respect and courtesy. We cultivate and promote internal exchange and solidarity, we are strongly connected as colleagues, and we are aware of our capabilities and limitations on a personal and organizational level. Within this framework, we feel responsible for the well-being of our target groups and support them individually and needsoriented.
