dw Weekly Blog
My week – hectic, busy, exciting, rewarding, I could list
many superlatives, the fact of the matter is, as any Centre Manger would tell
you, it is one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can have. It is worthwhile as you are a part of a team
that touches and influences many lives, and in particular our focus as a
charity, UK Youth, is supporting young people to gain life-skills and
accredited awards that build confidence, resilience and help broaden their
opportunities in life. Avon Tyrrell is
such an outstanding outdoor centre to support this.
We now will Blog to you every week with the highs and lows of
Avon Tyrrell life. UK Youth does very
much want to make the Centre continually develop and so we would very much
welcome dialogue and comments from you in what would make Avon Tyrrell better
for you. We cannot promise to do
everything but we will do what we can within the Charity’s resources.And as for the rest of my week:
-
More
work on Cinolla; our new bookings system
-
Working
on how we use NetSuite our new Charity finance system and the integration with
Cinolla
-
Looking
at how we internally operate and market ourselves
-
Preparing
for our bi-annual LOtC Inspection next week
-
Telling
staff about fantastic feedback from Special needs Family and a letter to our
chefs.
-
Contracts
to sign for services
-
Dealing
with a support services company who are not nice and would rather take our
money than have ethics.
-
Discussing
with Maintenance Staff how to improve outside toilets and showers and the plan
to improve the roof drainage.
You get the gist! You may ask what keeps me enthusiastic,
motivated and driven to make Avon Tyrrell better and better for visitors and
staff, why, of course, the people. Have a good week and please get in touch if
you have something to say about the Centre.
Best
