Working in an outdoor centre we need to all have a sense of shared purpose and understanding why we are here, this is not just a job, what we do as a team does affects the lives of so many young people. If you think about it we give them opportunities to experience, learn and develop in an environment often never experienced before and can be a little daunting and challenging for some. And how do we know we are doing some good? Well we can always read what the positive feedback says, and remember we have made it possible.
And focusing on sense of shared purpose, it was very heartening for all the Avon Tyrrell staff to have our CEO, Charlotte Hill, take the time and trouble to spend a morning with all the departments earlier this week and roll up her sleeves and help the staff. It is good to see the ‘Boss’ make such an effort and to listen to what staff had to say, the respect for Charlotte grew throughout the day and the staff appreciated very much her making such an effort to spend time with team that makes Avon Tyrrell tick for UK Youth.
And on a lighter note, 2 Senior Instructors who are currently in the process of working towards achieving their National Angling Level 2 Coach Award, spent the day training and instructing fishing. The abundant fish in our lakes led to a catch of 49 and some rather interesting affection for the fish…..
Finally, our EcoHealth team have done a fantastic job making the Avon Tyrrell Main House front Courtyard more welcoming and have built and planted two beautiful planters. Great Job Guys, thank you and we are receiving many positive appreciative comments already.
