Positive Futures

Meet our advisory board✨!

We recently came together for our Advisory Board meeting, made up of staff and people we support and one message came through loud and clear: listening to and valuing people’s voices makes a real difference.

💬 Key themes from the discussion included:
Putting people first – continuing to build more person-centred support where choice, independence and individuality are at the heart of everything we do.
Being heard – ensuring people we support have meaningful ways to share feedback and influence decisions.
Looking ahead – shaping the future of Positive Futures, including characteristics that are important in finding our new Chief Executive and maintaining the values that matter most. The board decided that our next leader needs to be nice, kind and polite, a good listener, honest and approachable but firm and assertive when it matters 💛.
Learning & growth – improving access to training, advocacy and opportunities for development.

👏 A huge thank you to all members for sharing their experiences, ideas and ambitions so openly. Your voices are helping to shape a stronger, more inclusive future.

Positive Futures in full bloom🌻

It’s been a busy and inspiring few weeks across our services in the south of Ireland, with lots of moments that reflect the impact of our support and the dedication of our teams.

Great to see Julie from our Homeshare service in Co. Meath sharing some photos from a fun day at the local fair. Meanwhile Fergal from our NAHVI service, enjoyed travelling by train to attend an event in Dublin, while Stephen made the most of the good weather with a scenic visit to Ardgillan Castle.

In our Saol Beo Supported Living Service in Co. Leitrim, Sharon had a brilliant weekend too enjoying a live music show in Sligo🎤, whilst Brenda opted for a quieter weekend at home practicing her baking skills. Then we had Ann Marie getting out and enjoying a beautiful walk in the sun☀️!

In Co. Meath, Cluain Farm Supported Living Service, shared another productive week with Aiofe enjoying baking and Kieran enjoying some well deserved coffee ☕following a spring clean of his office!

These moments, big and small, show what can be achieved through supportive relationships, choice and opportunity. Thank you to all of you who continue to support us and ensuring the people we support live the life they want ✨.
