CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

At Challenge we transform lives of marginalised job seekers by improving their capacity to gain meaningful employment.

Everyone here at Challenge can be pleased with our continued progress we have made over the past year. While there is constant change in the sector Challenge continues to adapt and evolve to meet these changing environments.

The past financial year has seen us integrate COVID safe practice, remain agile to delivery of programs, invest in program improvements, and develop our internal capacity for the future. We continue to build on the confidence that our advocates, supporters and community have in us.

I am privileged to serve as Chair and would like to acknowledge the efforts of my fellow directors and the team at Challenge like to express our deep appreciation for the incredible commitment shown by the management and staff and to all those who believe like we do that transforming lives and creating a brighter future is something worth committing to.

CEO’S REPORT

The past financial year has been one of continued evolution and change. We have endeavoured to capture as much of that activity as possible in this report.

We continue to navigate this period of change from a position of strength, built upon the critical foundations of our values and mission. These foundations are in readiness for us to maximise our opportunities in the future.

It is important to always remember that when we deliver our services to the community, we are fulfilling our mission “To utilise our skills and resources to assist people to be the best that they can be”. This report provides an opportunity to share our achievements, our aspirations and by doing so showcase our commitment to our Mission. We continue to build on the confidence our supporters, our employers and community have in us.

To our supporters, stakeholders and all of those who have engaged with our organisation over the past 12 months, thank you.
