A CHARITY SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE

We recently held a strategic planning day with our team, taking time to reflect on our journey so far and align on where we’re headed next.

The day kicked off with a lively game of human bingo — a fun way to spark connection and reveal a healthy dose of team competitiveness! This was followed by three insightful workshops led by members of our senior management team, focusing on Trauma-Informed Care, Youth Participation and Our Buildings & Spaces

The energy and engagement in each session truly reflected our team’s commitment to our strategic goals and the young people we support.

In the afternoon, we were joined by Lisa Nicola Dunne from Mantra Strategy, who facilitated a powerful session exploring our why, our brand, and our culture. It was dynamic, insightful, and full of meaningful conversations. Key words and phrases that consistently appeared throughout the day included young people, support, inclusion, and community.  The afternoon was visually and creatively recorded by David Fortune from Me & the Moon, 

We opened up important conversations about our culture including psychological safety.  

Of course, no team day is complete without a sweet treat! Our break featured an array of homemade (and maybe a few shop-bought!) desserts — all thoroughly enjoyed. We wrapped up the day with a well-earned ice cream to top it off.

Truly proud of this team and the work we do every day. The day was a reminder of our shared purpose and the strong alignment across the organisation. Excited for what comes next.
