The Winchester Beacon is beginning 2025 with a clear strategy for the coming years after reaching out to stakeholders and reflecting on the needs of the people we support.
CEO, Mark Wakeling, explains: “We have been working to review and develop the focus of our work over recent months. Looking at our strategy has involved invaluable conversations with residents past and present, volunteers, staff, trustees, donors and funders, community partners and many more people connected to The Winchester Beacon.
These interactions have informed our focus for the coming three years as we continue our mission to help break the cycle of homelessness by enabling people to rebuild their lives. For me, reviewing and clarifying our strategy was a priority to ensure that all the hard work of our staff and the goodwill of our volunteers and supporters is resulting in the best possible impact and outcomes for the people we support.
Over the coming three years, our strategic objectives will be to strengthen the organisation for the future, expand service provision, collaborate as a community and focus on interventions to reduce rough sleeping. We are looking forward to working together to embed these objectives and ensure they inform our work and decisions as a charity.”
