Our First Virtual Coffee Morning
Last Friday (9th February) we launched our first ever TPT virtual coffee morning!
The team came up with this idea after a discussion with our Business Mentor, Jo Boardman, after discussing innovative and new ways to communicate and share the work of the team on digital platforms. We also thought this would be a perfect opportunity to get to know our Supporters and for our Supporters to get to know us a bit better, in a relaxed atmosphere and on a more regular basis.
We are currently running these on a trial basis to see if there is demand and to establish the right frequency and duration. But we’re very much hoping they will be become a regular fixture in the TPT diary.
Our first coffee morning was held virtually on Microsoft Teams and we were joined by 9 supporters. It was really great for the whole team to see new and old faces and be able to chat openly about the Trail and the work we have been doing.
It was an informal chat so no agenda and conversation topics varied from social media, clothing, artwork and general catch ups. There was no pressure for everyone to talk or have their camera on with one or two supporters just happy to listen and learn more about what’s going on at TPT HQ.
The plan is for the sessions to take place every two weeks at 10am for 30 minutes. A reminder is sent the Monday before with the link to join the session. Our next session will be on Friday 23rd February and we hope you can attend!
The Trans Pennine Trail is also celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year, and the virtual coffee morning is just one of the activities we are looking to run to help mark this wonderful milestone in the Trail’s history.
