We’ll keep it real. As we reflect on March, it’s been a month of both wins and losses: 💥Received Advance Assurance for SEIS and are now ready to receive investment via ASA ahead of our round, which will open later in the year. 💥Submitted 2 funding bids and drafted 2 more, which we’re on track to submit next month.  💥Partnered with Royal Court Theatre on the West End transfer of critically acclaimed theatre show For Black Boys offering hundreds of £10 tix to community members.  💥Secured free offerings for the theatre shows Shifters and Sister Act to our community members 💥Grew our waitlist by 200, we’re now at over 1700+ creative talent  💥Attended the TNB XPO as an official exhibitor, an annual convention showcasing Black excellence within the UK screen industries 💥Nominated for exciting awards (more on this to come…) 🤫 But, we also: 🌪 Experienced product delays which has a knock on effect on our launch timeline  🌪Missed the deadline for a funding opportunity that we wanted to put ourselves forward for 🌪Had to reschedule a shoot due to unforeseen circumstances, which was costly 🌪It’s been a great month for fundraising, but this push has distracted us from the real work of business development So, in the spirit of transparency, we’ll be sharing our monthly W’s and L’s along the way. What have you reflected on in March? ⬇️ Stay Tuned for this series 🙌🏾 #Business #BlackCreatives #GetFunded #CreativeCommunity

Moving from discrete simple services to working in the complex world of the nature of people, families and communities, is a shift to designing from the person. It is in the humanising of our work. Not only does this help people to get back in control of their lives, but demand and the costs consumed drop. This is about true strength based public sector transformation. This should be an interesting collection of the work that is ongoing all around the country in strength based working. #strengthbased, #publicsector

Is National Links Trust showing a repeatable path to coordinated public/private investment in American municipal golf courses? I hope so. Neglected muni's hurt the game; this country is littered with courses less than 6,000 yards--many architectural gems laying waste--that remind golfers everyday that courses used to be designed and built for stimulating decision- and shot-making, not brute strength and grueling endurance. Re-discovering American muni's can help grow the game of golf; and also change the paradigm that city golf drains cities' budgets. Municipal golf courses are generally shorter, more playable, and more welcoming to beginners than other courses. Less time, less difficult, and hold the dress code are the same characteristics cited to explain golf entertainment's explosion. Whereas golf entertainment facilities sit off highways miles out of town, muni's sit in city centers I posit that city-owned dirt already dedicated to golf is better suited to growing the gamification of golf than farmland in suburban America. Muni's have a market advantage over TopGolf, DriveShack, and other private golf entertainment companies: cities and counties across America already own--and dedicate to golf--premium dirt (real property, you know, land). To be clear, I am not suggesting we plow over municipal golf courses to build a three-tier driving range. I am suggesting that the next time your city or county publishes a request for proposal regarding your local golf course, be open to the idea that the highest and best use--in service of its residents and their engagement with golf--may include aspects of golf entertainment. Perhaps even some that no one has come up with yet. #nationalinkstrust #bobbyjoneslinks #usga #munigolf #growthegame #grateful4golf

"Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has". Margaret Mead It was so good to see this post below. This is what happens when you take action, pursue your ideas with a passion and have a burning desire to succeed. I can't believe that it was only last Xmas when I shared an idea I had with a small group of local entrepreneurs to create a unique event for the Hertfordshire Business Community. The vision was to inspire small business owners to help them grow their businesses and The Hertfordshire Business Growth Show was born as a result. Less than a year later, that event has now been nominated for a unique business award. How did that happen? Well there's no secret ingredient to the success of this event. It all boils down to the fact that a small group of committed people (who all gave their time freely) took action to create something special for other business owners and then just got on with it! Tony Fields, Anna Peck, Michelle Stacey - it has been a pleasure to work with you all on this unique community initiative to support other business owners across Herts. You are all already award-winning people in my opinion so here's to creating an exciting and even bigger and better event in March 2024! And if you are reading this and want to know more you can register your interest for next year's event here - https://lnkd.in/eeDa6b7N #entrepreneurs, #businessevents, #stalbans, #hertfordshirebusiness, #awardwinning

My response to this question earlier today was: "I'm not a fan of the term 'trauma-informed' but I can live with the term 'trauma-informed practices'. Trauma can be caused by a variety of events, including physical or sexual abuse, neglect, violence, or war. Trauma-informed practice should be an approach to service delivery that recognises many people have experienced trauma in their lives and this can have a significant impact on their behaviour, health, and well-being. People who have experienced trauma may be more vulnerable to victimisation, offending, and homelessness. They may also have difficulty coping with stress, managing their emotions, and forming healthy relationships. Trauma-informed practice in the criminal justice system should aim to create a safe and supportive environment for people who have experienced trauma. It should involve providing services that are tailored to the individual needs of each person and that respect their choices and autonomy."
