Launching our Five-Year Strategy

Ibelieve my role as Chief Executive is to tell the story of our organisation, and in partnership with you, shape the journey ahead. The last few pages of the story have certainly been eventful, as we have all navigated the challenges of the past 10 months, and although it has been a difficult period there have been many positives to hold on to and to take with us into the future.
The new five-year strategy will take us to 2025 and will be vital in securing the long-term viability of the organisation, as we look ahead to the 150th anniversary and the kind of organisation we strive to be in 2033.
The strategy has been developed over the past eighteen months. It began with the largest consultation exercise with leaders we have undertaken for many years, which has seen us re-affirming our Vision, Mission and Values.
The pandemic has meant we have all had to do things differently, find new and creative ways of engaging with children and young people, as well as embracing new technologies and ways of communicating with each other.
The result is our ambitious five-year strategy which will be realised through the creation of annual work plans. A recap of the journey……
We produced a report learnings from Lockdown which has influenced our future plans. Check out the 'Learning in Lockdown' report at boys-brigade.org.uk/learning-in-lockdown/
Strategic Review
This independent review was conducted by Wren and Greyhound and captured the reflections, ideas, hopes and ambitions of our members. Survey responses were received from 1,255 leaders representing all regions, three focus groups were held and made up of leaders from a cross section of roles and experiences, with one group comprising of young leaders undertaking KGVI training. There were also 17 targeted interviews with key staff and volunteers from across the Brigade. The views were brought together and resulted in a report and clear recommendations.
