We have just facilitated an Away Day with the 8 trustees and 2 of the staff from Nightstop – supporting young people at a point of crisis through homelessness. They are a fabulous group of passionate and committed people to work with. One of the trustees had just, with a lot of support from others, run a consultation event with 20 young people taking part – yielding a lot of information and suggestions about how young people can be supported onwards in their lives. The day was very useful in identifying the potential strategic aims for the charity and what key objectives would sit under these.
