We are very proud to unveil our brand new 5-year strategy, which will shape our journey as we pave the way to the charity’s 50th anniversary.
The new Challengers strategy was officially launched last night at an event attended by passionate supporters, including patrons, funders, parent trustees and ambassadors, business supporters, and key community figures.
Central to the strategy is how we will address the urgent needs of families and the increasing demand to access Challengers services. Through four key aims, the strategy outlines the plan to help 1,000 families through 100,000 hours of support by the end of the strategy period.
The four strategic aims:
- Enriching the wellbeing and confidence of disabled children and young people
- Advocating for families and challenging the barriers that exclude them
- Connecting families together to reduce isolation and create a community of support
- Securing the resources needed to invest in our vital services supporting disabled children and young people.
Chief Executive Officer Gen Dearman shared:
“The demand for support services for disabled children and their families is ever-growing. Despite a challenging external environment, now is not the time to stand still, and families need us to be ambitious in our approach. Our new strategy marks a significant milestone in advancing our life-changing work so that we can transform the lives of even more disabled children, young people, and their families through the power of play.”
