Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Members' Meeting (AMM) on Thursday 24 September at Portsmouth Guildhall.
If you missed out on the day, you can watch the livestream recording here.
The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the work delivered over the past year, the lessons learned and what lies ahead for our Trust and the communities we serve.
Guests who arrived early were able to explore our marketplace, meeting teams, services and community partners, learning more about the work taking place across the Trust and discovering ways to get involved.
During the meeting, we looked back on the past year, including our Annual Accounts, Governor reflections and the external auditor's report.
Watch our review of the year video below.
We then heard about our strategy in action through three inspiring stories showcasing work from across the Trust:
- Careers for Young People Programme
- COAST/Hospital at Home
- Clover Ward's Mother and Baby Unit
We also introduced Fit for our Future, shared how we are already putting this into action and looked ahead to the opportunities and challenges ahead. The meeting concluded with a Q&A session with our Executive Team.
Thank you to everyone who attended in person and online, and to those who asked questions and shared their views. We appreciated the opportunity to reflect on our progress together and discuss what comes next for our Trust.
