Proud to Pledge Commitment to the Lancaster District Fair Work Charter

HPA is proud to have pledged its commitment to the Lancaster District Fair Work Charter, the new initiative led by Lancaster City Council to promote fairness, opportunity, and good employment practices across the district. By signing up, HPA affirms our support for the Charter’s principles, including secure employment, fair pay, staff wellbeing, equality, and opportunities for professional development.

As an employer rooted in the Lancaster and Morecambe district for more than 40 years, we recognise the importance of creating a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and able to develop their careers. The Charter reflects and reinforces the commitments we already uphold across the practice – supporting staff growth, offering flexible working, maintaining transparent processes, and fostering a supportive, inclusive culture.

During an event held at the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster and attended by the first cohort of members and representatives from Lancaster City Council, we were delighted to be presented with a certificate acknowledging our position as one of the first organisations to join the Lancaster District Fair Work Charter. This recognition highlights the work already undertaken within the practice and our ongoing dedication to continuous improvement.

Our participation in the Charter underscores HPA’s commitment to be a responsible employer that invests in its people and its community.
