This month, a few members of the team are taking on a new challenge to raise money for Tommy's. Ian, Emily, Adele, Danielle and Ben will be taking 8,000 steps a day in March and we'd be so grateful if you could sponsor them! 👟 All donations go straight to Tommy's to fund research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, to find the causes and treatments to save babies’ lives. So far, we've collectively walked enough steps to get us from Newcastle to Wetherby Services! You can sponsor us here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8xu7uGN #tommys #charity #charitywork 

Today feels like Boxing Day 😂 Why? It's the day after the relaunch of our Meaningful Membership scheme, which very much felt like all the excitement of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day all rolled in to one 🎅 🤶 🎄 After months of planning, 'The Big Day' was finally here. Of course, there were a few hiccups but we got over them PDQ (not like forgetting the cranberry sauce on Christmas Day!) 🙌 So what have I learnt over the last few days: ✅ You put in what you get out ✅ Teamwork makes you stronger ✅ Regular check-ins are a must (communication is King!) ✅ Being passionate keeps the focus (despite the challenging times) ✅ The end is just the beginning (here's to the next Christmas Day!) Not only that, but it's clear that all of the hard work (blood, sweat and tears) has started to pay off for Meaningful Membership and our new member sign ups exceeded my expectations yesterday! And it hasn't stopped today! However, a colleague did have to remind me today about everything we've achieved collectively in the last 6 months, and it's no mean feat. ✅ Annual Conference ✅ New Co-op Food Store for Heart of England Co-operative Society Ltd ✅ First Bewiched Coffee drive thru for our Heart of England Co-operative Society Ltd ✅ New Society website https://lnkd.in/ekJAS-UN ✅ Relaunched Meaningful Membership (including a 100% switch to digital sign up and digital wallets) The same colleague also put a 9am meeting in today to talk about our next project - our AGM. Plus there's Q-comm..... Plus there's app development..... I guess there's no time for a rest then (apart from a little Wine Time this weekend*) 👇 Thank you to our Business Partners that have helped us achieve all of the above smartimpact, Venture Stream, AlphaGraphics, BPD Group *Buy 3 bottles of wine and save £5 (on bottles priced £7 or more) #membership #loyalty #lovewhatyoudo
