In March, we held another CLEAR IDEAS workshop in Sheffield; a big thank you to Sheffield Theatres for hosting us at The Crucible!

Led by Kamal Birdi and supported by Sarah Stanley, we were joined by 12 attendees, representing 11 organisations - a fantastic mix of SMEs, third sector and public sector organisations.

The workshop was a great success and attendees were equipped with skills to generate and implement new creative ideas and solutions.

“I enjoyed learning about different creative ideas and problem solving methods. Also great to meet different people and work collectively with different angles.” - Tammy Wilson, Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care (SCCCC).

We've had a great time running our series of CLEAR IDEAS across South Yorkshire. We look forward to reviewing this workshop and considering what might be next for CLEAR IDEAS. Keep your eyes peeled for updates about further workshops!
