There are just 10 days to go until our Annual Members’ Meeting (AMM) on Thursday 24 September at Portsmouth Guildhall.
Join us to hear about the work we’ve delivered over the past year, what we’ve learned and what’s next for our Trust and the communities we serve.
Come along early and explore our marketplace
Our marketplace is open from 2.30pm to 3.15pm, giving you the chance to meet teams, services and community partners, find out more about the work happening across the Trust and discover ways to get involved (see below for list of marketplace stallholders).
The AMM runs from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.
We’ll start by looking back at the past year, including our Annual Accounts, Governor reflections and the external auditor’s report.
We’ll then hear about our strategy in action, with three stories showcasing work across the Trust:
- Careers for Young People Programme
- COAST/Hospital at Home
- Clover Ward’s Mother and Baby Unit
We’ll also introduce Fit for our future, hear how we’re already putting this into action and look ahead to what’s next. The meeting will finish with a Q&A with our Executive Team.
