Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
TMG continued using its strong cohort of accredited Mindfulness teachers to deliver throughout the year accredited Mindfulness training. This process was assisted by the excellent multimedia facilities at the local doctors’ surgery, which enabled TMG to hold in-person practice sessions which blended on-line participants into the session. This continued to provide significant support to the TMG community’s wellbeing.
TMG Trustees met quarterly and shared responsibility for the overall governance and running of the Charity. The Operational Management Group, a sub-committee of the Trustee Board charged with managing the day-to-day activities of TMG, met monthly in the course of the year. Standing agenda items included operational decisions focused on the marketing and administration of courses and events, overseeing the development of future courses to be offered by TMG as well as an update on financial performance and marketing activities, to the extent that they are relevant to any operational decisions being taken. Any matters requiring Trustee agreement were escalated to the Board as appropriate.
The Marketing Group sought tenders for a charity re-brand to include a new website to better reflect our current market place and desire to attract more business customers to Mindfulness. Preferred supplier status was awarded and an initial workshop held to scope requirements.
Trustees held a planning day in October 2023 which initiated a complete policy review and confirmed agreement to research a brand new course aimed at offering Mindfulness for parents and children where the child is struggling at school and relationships are being impacted.
TMG Teachers also continued to meet in person and online for mutual support, knowledge sharing and learning whilst also practising Mindfulness collectively.
