Highlights from 2024 – Magpie – Vision, Mission, Values workshop

Here we highlight another one of the projects featured in the 2024 Just Ideas’ Annual Review and in a new blog by Magpie’s CEO, Jane Williams.

Defining Magpie’s Vision, Mission, Values

In November 2024 Just Ideas were invited back to Magpie to facilitate this important meeting. As Jane Williams, CEO of Magpie describes it in a new blog:

“At the end of November we got together with mums, minis, staff, volunteers, trustees to talk through what is most important to us, how we want to our charity to run, and how we want to treat ourselves and each other…

… we slowly came to an agreement about our vision mission and values while celebrating our community and each other. All of this was expertly, lovingly, and innovatively facilitated by our amazing friends at Just Ideas who, honestly make the almost impossible (wrangling all of us) look effortless.”

Our work with Magpie in 2024

The Magpie Project supports mums and pre-school children suffering in temporary or insecure accommodation due to the hostile immigration environment. Just Ideas facilitated a number of listening events between professionals and mums of under-fives experiencing developmental and learning needs. We designed and held those sessions in a way that gave the mums a platform to articulate their experiences on an equal, expert footing with the health professionals.

Following a series of thorough and detailed reports on those sessions by our team, we were invited back to facilitate four co-design workshops with the mums and professionals, where we co-created work programmes around the themes that emerged in our listening events. Those work programmes focus on developing tools, materials, resources and practice to shape future services, interventions and advocacy.
