About this gathering

A brainstorm session to consider the impact that the release of GFG funding may have on the task of preparing your Assemblies for elections.
Several scenarios will be considered.

🌿 Brainstorm 1: Practical Risk Stewardship

Thinking Clearly. Preparing Wisely. Acting Responsibly.

Financial relief would certainly ease pressure and free up time and energy, however, regardless of the timing of the release there will be both benefits and challenges for the Assemblies.

This session is not to speculate about timing but to uncover what those challenges might be.

A practical brain storming session.

Together, we will identify the challenges or pressures that are most likely to arise — and calmly explore how we can prepare in advance for them.

It is not a predictions forum or a space for wild assumptions, it is a conversation designed to bring clarity.

We are here to think ahead and strengthen our Assemblies, ensuring progress under a range of possible conditions.

Your voice matters in this room. Your perspective strengthens the whole.

Come ready to listen and contribute, and to build practical foresight together.
