The co-leads had collated project ideas from the community in preparation and we were able to debate and discuss these together to decide how best to prioritise and take these forwards. It was a valuable opportunity to share ideas together and think strategically about impact needs across ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ and how to meet them."
