Our Vision, Mission and Values
Nexus is the leading organisation within Northern Ireland (NI) supporting individuals impacted by sexual abuse and abusive relationships.
Every year in Northern Ireland there are thousands of sexual abuse and abusive relationship offences reported to police, and thousands more go unreported. The supports and services that Nexus provide are primarily focused on enabling positive change for those impacted by sexual abuse and abusive relationships.
Nexus has taken time to review its vision, mission and core values. This has included listening to service users, the staff team and Board members about what priorities should be, how work can be more effective, what the strengths of the organisation are and what should be done differently.
This strategy will guide the work of Nexus from March 31st 2023 to March 31st 2026. It represents our vision and commitment to empowering people, supporting recovery from sexual abuse and abusive relationships, breaking the cycle of sexual abuse and abusive relationships, informing policy and practice, influencing society, and being fit for purpose.
