Dear community,

After a challenging 2024, here are a few words from our Trustee, Nicola Miller setting the scene for the year ahead and our plans for bringing the community together

We want to take a moment to update you on some of the changes that have taken place at Action for XP over the past year and to acknowledge that during this time, you may have felt a little distance from us. We understand that we may not have provided the level of support you rely on, and for that, we sincerely apologise.

The past year has seen significant turnover within our team, with new staff starters who unfortunately were unable to stay with us for long, and a number of pressures on our board and volunteers, due to new babies, retirements, job changes and health issues—all of which have had challenging impacts on our ability to carry out operations to the standard we would have liked.

However, we are pleased to announce that we now have two committed new team members, Victoria and Janette, who are both working diligently behind the scenes to bring Action for XP to its fullest potential. Additionally, we are thrilled to welcome new trustees, Nina, Rory and Natalie, who bring invaluable expertise and dedication to our mission. We look forward to introducing you to everyone in the coming months.
​

​Looking ahead, we are excited to confirm that we have secured funding for an in-person family event. We know how important it is to come together and connect in a safe and supportive environment, and we’re committed to making this event as memorable and beneficial as possible for everyone in our community.

Over the coming weeks, you will begin to see small but significant changes, such as website updates, refreshed branding and resources, and an increased presence on social media. These improvements are part of our commitment to rebuild and strengthen our support for each of you, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions along the way.

We’re excited to share that we’ll be reimagining and rebranding our Virtual Cuppa events to provide the very best support possible—complete with a brand-new name! These upcoming events will include insights from various community members, guest speakers, and focus on meaningful topics like mindfulness, nutrition, and sleep. We’ll also offer a range of event types for specific age groups, including families, teens, and young adults, to ensure everyone feels included and engaged. If you have any ideas for these sessions or would like to speak at an event, we’d love to hear from you—let’s make this a truly collaborative experience!

Please know that Victoria and Janette are here for you, ready to answer questions, offer assistance, or simply connect. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them, as we are always here to support you.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support as we work towards creating a stronger, more connected Action for XP. We look forward to sharing this journey with you and are dedicated to making sure you feel the impact of our renewed efforts every step of the way.
Warm regards,
 
Nicola Miller
Co-founder and Secretary of the Board of Trustees
