In the year to December 2025, we celebrated the milestone of having trained 5000 people with 461 people accessing the full day’s training package and a further 3012 people accessing shorter training sessions or workforce development opportunities. This training is delivered in both multi agency and single agency formats in Plymouth and beyond. This work contributes to the Network’s strategic aims of supporting the Network itself, the people of the community and supporting system change, aligned with its key document- Envisioning Plymouth as a Trauma Inforemd City. We hosted several more guest speakers to support and promote continues connection, learning and reflection, with leaders in the fields of palliative care, child sexual abuse and psychologically informed environments joining us. Sessions were well attended. In July we expanded our training pool to double its size with a two day train the trainer process which was well received. The representation of employers and organizations within the city among those who came forward to deliver our training on an in-kind basis shows strength in both regard for our work and partnership working. We have strengthened and developed the Network branches, which are the center for action and engagement in the Network. This included a clear pathway for the support of voluntary branch leads and three new branches focusing on healthcare, families and physical activity. The other major piece of work is the project to establish full cost recovery for the training endeavours of the Network following the ending of funding. This is designed to support the sustainability of the training stream of the Network and explore how a commercial offer might support the community training offer to include reduced cost places aligned with our values.

The stakeholders of the Network are its members, which now exceeds 1000. The branches are the key stream for members to be engaged and involved in the Network activity and the expansion of the branches this year has come directly from member feedback and listening events for members in 2024. The membership survey in late 2024 also guided and directed events and themes we focused on and events we ran during 2025 and the latest survey will do the same for the year to come. The Network values were reviewed collaboratively with members in the first quarter of the year, and an updated version of the values is now in place as a result. The full-cost recovery work has been done with invitation to collaborate and contribute among all members. Independent advice for this project and benchmarking of our training was done in partnership with colleagues at Plymouth city council and the new training offer will be trialed and put out for consultation with partners in the city and beyond. As the years ends, we are embarking on a co-produced piece of work involving our training pool, branch leads and wider membership to develop a constitution for the Network with the intention to dissolve the Network as a CIC being explored within future and sustainable governance arrangements. The successful expansion of our training pool to double its size shows strength in both regard for our work and partnership working with a wide range of statutory and VCSE organizations agreeing to release their staff to deliver training on our behalf.
