What struck you most about the programme? The programme was professionally run, and the background information was useful not only for each visit, but for future use.


What was the highlight of the programme for you? I think it’s a great opportunity to see how all sector’s work and the impact it has on the City of Hull and the surrounding area.
Can you give an example of a measurable benefit to your organisation? The opportunity to host a programme visit: We were able to promote our facility with almost thirty new users which has led to further bookings and raised perceptions of what my organisation does and what it’s about.
Can you give an example of a measurable benefit to your community? I felt that it improves the perception that participants of the programme had of what goes on within the City and by doing this, promotes the City in a better way.
Can you give an example of something you do differently as a result of the programme? I am restructuring roles and responsibilities within my team, to free-up my time to concentrate on new opportunities and to be part of more networks.
What impact did the programme have for your personality? I realised that although you continue to do ‘your job’, I needed to take a step back to develop my role and take more of a lead on possible future opportunities for my organisation, and by being part of Common Purpose, I have a better insight into the workings and politics of the city.
