WOLVERHAMPTON, 22nd July 2024 – Progress is thrilled to announce the launch of the “My Progress Value” Holiday Challenge, a stimulating initiative aimed at celebrating the creativity and talent of young people across Progress’ homes and foster care network. From Tuesday 23rd July to Friday 30th August, participants will have the opportunity to express their interpretation of Progress’ values through various creative channels such as painting, writing, or any other form of artistic expression.
The Challenge, designed to foster camaraderie and healthy competition, encourages collaboration between young people, support workers, and foster carers to showcase what Progress’ values mean to them. Whether it’s care, trust, respect, or progress, participants are invited to unleash their creativity and share their unique perspectives.
“We are excited to launch the ‘My Progress Value’ Holiday Challenge, which aims to make every holiday period a memorable and collaborative experience for everyone involved,” said Angeline Freer, Head of Corporate and Commercial Services, Progress. “This competition not only celebrates the creativity of our young people but also promotes teamwork and highlights the values that define Progress.”
The initiative aligns with Progress’ commitment to prioritise the well-being and development of young individuals. By engaging participants in a creative challenge during the holiday period, Progress aims to strengthen inter-service collaboration, demonstrate impact, and promote brand awareness.
“We believe that initiatives like the ‘My Progress Value’ Holiday Challenge play a crucial role in showcasing the talent and creativity of our young people,” said Claire Rogers, Managing Director, Progress. “Through this competition, we aim to foster a sense of pride and accomplishment among participants while also telling the unique stories and perspectives of the young people at the heart of Progress’ services.”
The Challenge will culminate in the selection of winners, whose submissions will be showcased across and beyond Progress. Additionally, a media campaign will highlight each submission, further amplifying the voices and talents of the young people.
