Join Us for Renew’s Annual General Meeting 2025
Monday 1 December, 12pm–2pm at The Chelmsford Club
As we prepare for our Annual General Meeting (AGM), we’re delighted to invite our community to come together once again to celebrate our achievements and look ahead to the future. This year’s AGM promises to be another inspiring and festive occasion, bringing together staff, volunteers, partners and supporters who share our commitment to improving mental health across Essex and beyond.
Why should I attend?
Our AGM is a chance for everyone connected to Renew to help shape what comes next. In a time when charities face increasing challenges, your voice and presence truly matter. We’ll be reflecting on the past year, exploring our priorities for the year ahead and celebrating the people who make Renew’s mission possible. We’re also delighted to have a very special guest speaker joining us this year.
Here’s what you can expect at this year’s AGM:
Celebrating achievements
We’ll look back at our successes and milestones, highlighting the dedication of our staff, counsellors and volunteers who help us provide life-changing mental health support every day.
Keynote speaker
We’re thrilled to welcome Paula Farrow, CEO and Founder of MyOTAS (My Own Time and Space), an Essex-based organisation supporting neurodivergent children and their families. Paula will be speaking on Neurodivergence and Mental Health, bringing a wealth of insight and experience to the conversation.
Your voice matters
This is your opportunity to share ideas, ask questions and help shape Renew’s direction for the future.
Looking ahead
Hear directly from our trustees and senior leadership team about our plans for 2026 and beyond, including updates on funding, training and community partnerships.
Awards and recognitions
We’ll take a moment to celebrate those who’ve gone above and beyond this year in their work and service to others.
