What we’ve been focusing on this week
- Preparing for some press attention to follow up our successful event with Save The Children last week. We can’t share many more details yet, but we can’t wait to tell you more once the story (fingers crossed🤞) goes live next week!
- Working on some social media ads - Azad has been testing out some new ads! We can’t wait to get some more signups for our existing groups and new leaders to launch new groups 🎉
- Organising an in-person event in Derby on Friday 1st September - we sent out some invitations by email on November 8, 2023 evening, please take a look and RSVP if you haven’t had a chance to yet. We can’t wait to see some of you!
(Some of) what we’re focusing on next week includes:
- Doing some user research - we shared headlines on the updates we made live on our website in last week’s weeknotes. This week, we’ve been reaching out to organise calls and gather feedback. If you’d like to share you thoughts, please book a call here.
- Designing more elements to support the running of our new model (e.g. areas of the website/Notion, new processes to accompany these).
- Making changes to the website based on what we’ll learn from our user research calls.
- Rhiannon and Hannah will be taking some holiday and having a well-earned rest! 🌞
