Progress Annual Conference 2025: Celebrating Staff, Sharing Voices, Shaping the Future

Progress is delighted to announce that our Annual Conference will take place next week, Tuesday 7 October 2025, bringing together staff from across the organisation for a day of learning, connection, and celebration.

The conference is one of the most important events in the Progress calendar. It provides an opportunity to reflect on achievements, share organisational updates, and hear directly from staff whose voices and experiences continue to shape the future direction of Progress.

This year’s agenda has been carefully designed to combine inspiring updates with interactive workshops, ensuring that colleagues can both contribute to discussions and take away new ideas to support their work.

Claire Rogers, Managing Director of Progress, said:
“Our Annual Conference is about more than just bringing people together in one room. It is about creating a space where every voice matters, where staff can share ideas and experiences, and where we can celebrate the incredible work being done every single day across Progress. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and hearing the conversations that will help us grow stronger as an organisation.”

A highlight of the day will once again be the Progress Superstar Awards and Long Service Awards, shining a spotlight on colleagues who have gone above and beyond in their roles, as well as those who have dedicated many years of service to supporting children, young people, and adults in our care.

The event also provides an opportunity to celebrate the unique Progress culture — one rooted in care, trust, respect, and progress for every individual. With food, conversation, and connection, the conference promises to be both an inspiring and memorable day.
