Circle vision

We are all aligned and excited by the strategic direction of the organisation and are working towards it across all circles and roles. Whole organisation mission, values and aims are alive and inform team planning and prioritisation.

Our strategy development processes incorporate data and learning from what’s gone before including the strategic sense of our staff, board and members on what matters.

The co-op has sufficient revenue to pay staff a decent wage with regular increases, fairly compensate freelancers and collaborators and invest in our aims.

We meet our legal requirements and obligations to funders. The work of the Strategy lead and Operations lead are well supported so that they feel engaged and rewarded by their work.
