SAFS annual Staff and Board Away Day was held at Sandwell Valley Country Park on Saturday 16th May, where care staff, office staff and board members came together to share and discuss the future of SAFS.

Staff and Board members noted why they work/volunteer at SAFS, what they are able to personally contribute and to flag up any gaps in the teams, within their specific service area. Staff and Board members also spoke about the successes in the last year, including the New Year, New SAFS event in January 2015.

Individuals who attend SAFS Lifestyles Service on Saturdays and those who attend the Out of School Club came to visit the staff and Board members for lunch and had the chance to see farm animals up close! Once the children and adults had left, the Strategic Plan for SAFS was discussed in detail by staff and Board members.

Everyone had a chance to share their views and opinions on decisions as well as suggest alternatives and other innovative ideas. Many thanks to Ian Cotterill who presented the day and made everyone feel welcome and at ease when sharing their honest views and opinions with the rest of the group.

If you have any fun ideas as to where SAFS could hold our next Staff Away day, please contact 0121 558 2198.
