Plans for the future
The y6ar 2024 was characterised by continuity and change, continuing our core actlvities, but moving inlo 2025,
we started a process of reviewing and refreshing our vision and purpose and envlsage an onward palh of
buildlng on our core activities, introdu¢lng new Initiatives espe¢lally as wa engage more clos61y with churches
and partners. Of course there are challonges, but we seek to build foundations where we are well prepared for
those that arlse.
Prayer:
We sought to underpin our steps with prayer, with trustees and managers me8ting logether early every Friday
mornlng, an open time of prayer In Ihe Café on Monday mornings and building daily rhythms of prayer throughoul
th6 week. We have been blessed by being included in the prayers and prayer meetings of some of the ¢hur¢hes.
Our God is a relational God and calls us to seek unity. We have èndeavoured to build heatthy relationships both
across our team and beyond as part of our foundational steps.
Church leaders:
We felt it important to draw much closer lo church leaders across Malvern and began the year by me6ting with
them, praying and sharing together.11 was encouraging to hear from tham as well as share our heart to seek the
Lord's ￿111.
Our vision, mission, values:
This has been followed by refreshlng our vlslon, misslon and values that respects our heritage ov@r 30 years, but
looks foNard. We have been sharing thesè across our16am or staff and volunteers to ensure we are all aligned
in who we are and why we serv6. This has been followed by regular vislts to local church congregatims to
conne¢t and shar8.
Other key shifts..
Café.. Revlsed café openlng - moving from six days lo Monday - Friday. We are putting emphasis on our café
and bookshop as more 'ministry than money'l Ali's role as Volunleer Coordinator is intended to recognise the
value of our volunteers as a community in their own right with both gifts and needs. We are looking to inlroduce
more initiatives that leverage the Café space engaglng the community more wid&ly in different ways, such as
family tlme during school holldays.
Counselling.. Plans to re-launch a remodelled subsidised counselling Servi￿. This will be in effect an outsourced
service where Ihose seeking low-cost counselling wlll be referred through The Well Counselling lo our pool of
counsellors, operating from within their own private professional practlces. Thls avolds the reliance on a qualified
professional to oversee, manage and coordlnate the servi¢e, while maintaining the same standards and
Safeguards for the clienls.
Chaplalncy: Plans lo re-launch a remodelled chaplaincy servlce from September, enabling those who wish to
meet with a trained chaplain.
Management.. A key emerging shift has been to empower Ihe management team lo manage and lead, supported
by and overseen by the tru8tees. Vvhile respecting different roles and responsibilit16s and boundari@s, we have a
greater sense of 'one team. serving together, reinforc@d through our shared prayer limes.
There are many exciting ideas for the future, but we want to ensure these are the Lord's plans not ours. You can
expect a phased Introduction of 'the ne￿ alongside the present as opportunities arise and capacity allows.
