Paper Plane

In the seven years I’ve been a trustee (I started in September 2012!) the organisation has continued to reach for the sky, has grown and expanded, changing massively. The advice project is so much bigger, we’ve gone from no fundraising to over £200K last year, the food project has grown and moved in and out of the organisation (and back in again) and to new premises, we’ve expanded the counselling through our Children and Young People’s Services, grown the training offer plus all the work with Greater Manchester Mind. Manchester Mind has been resilient to changes (cuts) in the funding environment, gaps in funding and increasing austerity, but like a paper plane it has been swooshing up and down and around, refolding to make it stronger, better and able to go further!
