Simon Community NI held it's first staff conference, since 2019, on Thursday 2 March.
One hundred and seventy staff attended the conference, which took place at the Belfast Harbour Commissioner’s Office, courtesy of our Board Chair Joe O’Neill. Compéred by local TV and weather presenter Barra Best, the organisation also welcomed Fr Peter McVerry, founder of the Peter McVerry Trust, as the conference's inspirational guest speaker.
Understanding the importance of taking time to celebrate success and milestones, many Simon Community staff received Length of Service awards, and the conference boasted a selection of wellbeing breakout sessions and advice touch points.
