Coming Together to Shape Our Future

What happens when you bring together staff, trustees, volunteers, and ex-service users in one room with a shared vision? Magic happens.

Our recent “Planning for the Future” day was exactly that kind of transformative experience. With the incredible news of securing both Children in Need funding and National Lottery Reaching Communities funding, we knew it was time to pause, reflect, and dream big about what comes next.

A Day of Discovery and Direction

Every voice mattered, every perspective added value, and every idea was welcomed. Our ex-service users brought invaluable insights from their lived experiences, while trustees offered strategic guidance, volunteers shared their grassroots observations, and staff contributed their professional expertise.

Together, we didn’t just talk about the future – we actively shaped it.

Looking Forward

As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we carry with us the energy, insights, and unity from our planning day. We’re not just better funded – we’re better prepared, better aligned, and more determined than ever to make a real difference.

While we’re thrilled about our recent funding successes, we still need to match fund and raise half our money this year and every year going forward. This ongoing fundraising ensures we can continue delivering the vital services our community depends on.

If you’d like to support our mission and help us turn these exciting plans into reality, you can donate through our website. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to achieving the ambitious goals we set during our planning day.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this day so special and productive. The future we’re building together is bright indeed.
