We are pleased to be able to confirm that following on from our successful Raise the Bar Roadshows that took place across the region last session, we are now ready to host our follow up events for 2020. We will be initially holding two in England.
At these events we will continue to look at the theme of Quality, exploring the findings of the recent strategic review and planning for the future. The event will be hosted by myself as Area Lead for the Region, International and Inclusion, Natalie Whipday the Director for the Region and Graham Reekie of the Wren and Greyhound Consultancy firm who undertook the research as part of the Brigade Strategic Review and who is now supporting the following up on the research undertaken and will be gaining feedback on the next steps. There will also be time to ask us any Questions regarding work being undertaken throughout the Brigade.
It would be great to see you at one of our Roadshows and gain your feedback to inform how we progress. Places are free but limited due to venue capacity so please sign up as soon as possible. If you would like to attend the Stafford event you can follow this link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/92929228825.
I look forward to seeing as many of you at one of our events and engaging in the next steps to make sure our organisation is in the best possible position to continue to engage with young people and make a positive impact in their lives.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with the England and Wales team.
