On 9th July, the Skills Team at Acorn came together at The Bridge Centre in Hanley for a focused and energising Skills Day. The event was designed to support team development, share key updates, and celebrate achievements across the department.
Throughout the day, the team explored a range of important topics, including:
- Wellbeing – with time dedicated to personal and professional wellness, encouraging reflection and self-care.
- Business Finances – offering insight into the financial health of Acorn and how our work contributes to the bigger picture.
- Contracts and Bids – reviewing recent bids, upcoming retenders, and learning from those we didn’t win to strengthen future submissions.
- Ofsted Preparation – ensuring the team is aligned and confident ahead of inspections, with a focus on quality and compliance.
- Awards and Recognition – celebrating the hard work and successes of the Skills Team, highlighting individual and collective achievements.
The day was a valuable opportunity to reconnect, share knowledge, and reinforce our commitment to excellence. It also served as a reminder of the impact the Skills Team has across Acorn and the communities we support.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and made the day a success. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved—and excited for what’s next.
