Network’s advocacy comes in various forms, some of which may not be immediately noticeable or visible to the naked eye. It can manifest through subtle actions, behind-the-scenes efforts, or quiet support that might not draw attention but still makes a significant impact. Frequently, we participate in individual advocacy for a particular service matter that is delicate.
This hidden advocacy plays a crucial role in driving positive changes for our sector and promoting important issues within our OOSH community. Network is the primary and exclusive organisation dedicated to advocating for Out-of-School Hours (OOSH) services.
Receiving this feedback during the week was therefore truly appreciated….
I just wanted to share some good news with you! Thanks to your advocacy for us and incredibly helpful feedback we’ve been notified we were the successful tender for our service.
We are beyond thrilled!
Thank you again for all your hard work for the Sector.
