Sometimes it is hard to find time to reflect on what you have achieved and where you are going in life, but it is an important thing to do. This morning some of the MWN Trustees met to look at what had gone well and maybe what hasn’t gone so well for MWN over the last couple of years, and look at what parts of our work we needed to persevere with and which bits maybe we should think about ‘pruning back’ so that we maintain the goals and focus of our Small Charity Charter.

It was a productive 3 hours. There’s lots of enthusiasm to continue working on our management plans, and how we can organise ourselves more effectively for nature.

We’d like to say a big thank you to Martin Smith for facilitating the session (and Karyn and Steve for the pre-work), and also the very welcoming team at Gemini Chocolate, for use of their “Upstairs at Gemini” space that was just perfect for the morning.
