Imagine if we didn't back bold, brave new ideas through our mahi. Imagine if we don't back tomorrow. Join us in imagining what is possible if we did. We are asking our incredible community to back us so we can continue to back the ideas and dreams of young people now, tomorrow and into the future. Give $30 today to back our future. Our ‘why’ has always been - and will always be - rooted in the belief that every young person has the potential to change the world. That’s why, since 2011, we’ve built a range of high-impact programmes and events that have backed a community of thousands with the connections, capability, confidence and resources to lead change. 1700+ people have taken part in our programmes, We’ve supported 200+ community projects and ventures We’ve given out $115K+ in funding as awards and prizes We’ve gifted $2.5M+ in-kind scholarship support to increase access to life changing opportunities Our alumni are constantly creating impact for good. From creating solutions for climate and community resilience, to mental health and wellbeing, to building the next generation of impact-driven businesses. If you care about Aotearoa’s young people and making a difference for our future – give now! https://lnkd.in/gJxQBtwQ

Two Years at GRAIL – A Journey Just Beginning 🚀Two years ago, I joined GRAIL with the hope of contributing to something larger than myself—creating a space where everyone could feel valued and where our work could impact not just the company, but the world around us. A few short weeks after joining, we launched our first DEI Week. Fast forward to now, and we’re preparing for our 3rd DEI Month. It’s been an incredible journey, but I know we’re only just getting started. Let this be a reminder to plant the seeds you want to see grow. It’s worth the wait🌱 The speed at which things have grown has been nothing short of amazing. Watching our DEI initiatives skyrocket in impact has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion work has a ripple effect that extends far beyond internal efforts. At GRAIL, it touches our colleagues, customers, and patients. Our focus on health equity and addressing cancer health disparities shows how this work can directly transform lives, ensuring that early detection and treatment outcomes are equitable for all, particularly underserved communities. The most rewarding part of this journey has been witnessing the collective commitment to inclusion. It reminds me every day that inclusion is a journey, not a destination—and that the titles we hold are borrowed, but the impact we make is lasting. As I reflect on these two years, I’m reminded that impact doesn’t come from where you are, but from what you do. Cheers to more impact, no matter where the journey takes me, and to continuing the work of building a future where everyone belongs. 💫 #DEIMonth #HealthEquity #InclusionMatters #ImpactfulLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion #Leadership #RippleEffect

Horses for Courses: We're currently onboarding a new project management tool at RNN Communications and I'm pretty much apologising to Sinead for how tedious it is to get this up and running. For Sinead: "This is such an enjoyable project" :) TF for Sinéad Hanna ! You've got to know your strengths and weaknesses - and for me, processes, paperwork, crossing t’s, dotting i’s - just aren't where I sit. Give me the big ideas, hustle and pushing forward at speed any day but I totally recognise that systems, procedures and protocols are required for all businesses. So on that note...THANK YOU Sinead! Detail-focused, loves a spreadsheet, and does a sterling job in keeping both the team and I on the straight and narrow.

It's Memorial Day! Do you know why we celebrate today? If not, here’s a quick lesson:

Reflecting today on the inspiring 'More Than a Village' conference yesterday and the learning shared from ten years of Blackpool Better Start, Sure Start and much more besides. Thanks so much to Clare Law and to everyone who contributed. One key message for me was the importance of trust and allowing for local difference within accountability and outcomes frameworks and not seeking a simple or over-simplified view of what success and impact could and should look like - striking a balance of consistency where it makes sense with local flexibility. I found Sally Hogg's points about seeking a realistic view of what works and what might be impactful really helpful - bringing the evidence that's available (with healthy questioning of its relevance, especially for minoritised and disadvantaged communities as we discussed last week at the Nesta and Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families event on parenting interventions), in particular the common elements of evidence-based practice and change at a systems level, together with the voices and testimonies of local individuals and communities to shape and create local solutions. Really looking forward to contributing to the next stage of the journey, as a member of the Expert Advisory Board and linking to the Common Outcomes for Children and Young People Collaborative.

MEMORIAL MUSINGS. This being the week of Memorial Day, it got me to thinking about history, and how the world has changed drastically in some ways, yet not changed much in others. Would you agree that the pace of change has suddenly sped up over the past five years, and many of the changes are things we could never have imagined a decade or two ago? Yet, in other ways, things seem to have come full circle around to how they used to be long ago. Here are a few examples of some ‘new’ changes and some that have ‘changed back’: https://lnkd.in/dK9GMieh What examples could you add to this?
