But let’s take a minute to not only celebrate the end of 2013, but also to look forward to 2014 – what can we offer you in the year ahead? We’ve had a think, and we reckon these are the highlights of being involved with the Alliance in 2014:
1.
Getting to Know You
We’re going
to be getting out and about visiting organisations, getting to know you and
your services a little bit better, and what the Alliance can do to support your
work.
2.
The Start of the Forums
We’ll be
kicking off in January with our first open forum meeting and we’re really
excited to get as many agencies as possible in the room sharing information
about their services and really starting to understand what’s out there.
3.
The Alliance Brand
We’ve been
working with a design agency to design a logo for the Alliance and get
ourselves a bit of an identity…we’re in the process of agreeing on a logo, so
we’ll look forward to sharing this with you early next year.
4.
Online Access Points
We’ll be
setting up points across the city where clients can go to make and manage online
benefit claims and access information online with the support of superstar volunteers
trained by the Alliance. This means you’ll be freed up to do your amazing work
with those clients most in need.
5.
Training
We’re
looking at the range of ways in which we can offer training for you and how
best to deliver this, so we’ll be bringing you updates and getting you along to
sessions throughout the year. We’re always open to suggestions, so if there’s
something you really want to know more about, make sure you let us know either
on the message board here, or at the forum meetings.
We hope you’re all as excited as we are, and we hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and a very Happy New Year!
