I've commented here before about the bad decision by the John Muir Trust to pause the #johnmuiraward. Turns out that is just one aspect of what's going wrong with the Trust. What a mess. Full details here tfn.scot/news/exclusive-the-…

Collaboration
Working together unlocks so much more - especially in the often resource poor charitable sector.
So proud of @Awards_Network as one shining example of this. ❤️

After 22 years today is @TobyClark's last day with @JohnMuirTrust.
Backbone of the #JohnMuirAward, at the heart of the Trust's historic values of inclusive nature for all, hugely respected & appreciated by many, many groups & individuals across the UK.
Definitely end of an era.

2 Under the present CEO the Trust has been led into financial crisis, despite staff being told in December 2023 that finances were healthy. How has and is the Chair’s performance being monitored and appraised? 4/5

3 Having seen the departure of c. 10 senior staff members including all those that the CEO himself appointed, what gives the board confidence that the CEO will recruit and retain staff who can work effectively with him and wish to remain with the Trust? 5/5

I'm adding my name to an open letter to the @JohnMuirTrust, signed by 27 ex & current Ardroy staff. We're asking the JMT to reconsider the 'pause' in the John Muir Award. This was a key part of our environmental delivery, and is sorely missed. Full text at tinyurl.com/JMTOpenLetter
