We’ve recently been exploring a period of rest, reflection and replenishing as an organisation. Our work at Heard is about reimagining systems. It’s the work of building a healthier, more caring, more sustainable, more equitable world - and rest is an essential part of that. By prioritising rest, we can reimagine the current hyper-capitalist system and the way it degrades our health and  wellbeing, our communities and our climate. We can explore other and better ways to work and be in the world. We’re proud to prioritise the wellbeing of our team and those we work with. Social and environmental justice work is a marathon, not a sprint. Rest, care and connection are integral parts of what makes this work sustainable. Throughout August and into the coming weeks, our team is taking time to read, rest and connect with each other. We’re really excited about the opportunity to take time and space to reflect more deeply on our work – especially as we near the end of our current strategy cycle, and ready ourselves for developing a new one next year. We’ve been warmed and reassured by seeing other charity leaders across the sector recognising the need for rest at this time - a time when many of us are still feeling the after-effects of the unique challenges the past few years have brought. As part of our period of rest, reflection and replenishment, Heard is going to take a slowdown in our communications - a social media detox, if you will. You will hear less from us over the next few weeks. But we’re still here! So if you want to get in touch, just drop us a message. And we’ll update you in the coming months on what we’ve learnt and how we will embed more reflection and learning into our day-to-day. In the meantime, you can feast upon our just-published annual report for a deeper understanding of everything we achieved last year. https://lnkd.in/e-XvyU7Z

Budget = values? What does this mean practically? Our Pedja Stojicic, MD, MPH said: "By examining an organization's budget, you can see its true priorities. An organization may profess to prioritize health equity or justice, but without allocated funding, these claims are hollow. Likewise, actions speak louder than words. To genuinely comprehend your values, action is necessary. It's simple to claim belief in a cause, but without action, it's mere words. The real challenge arises when deciding how to allocate your time and resources. In community organizing and activism, it's crucial to walk the talk. The need to emphasize action reveals true values and beliefs. Just as a budget exposes the priorities of an organization, your actions expose your true values."

💫 Kataly Foundation is reimagining traditional grant reporting, opting for trust-based approaches instead of using data and reports to measure success. The hope is that shifting traditional methods will ease burdens on grantees and operationalize relationship-centered values, but like any shift, it can be challenging.
