Securing Futures – Together
Securing Futures – Together: A Day of Purpose, Progress and Possibility
On Thursday 19th September, iBC Healthcare proudly hosted our annual Managers’ Conference, themed “Securing Futures – Together”. Held in the spirit of learning and reflection, the day brought together leaders from across the organisation to reconnect, celebrate progress, and shape the future of care.
Colleagues came together with openness, passion and a shared commitment to the people supported across our services. It was a powerful reminder of the purpose that drives us to do amazing every day and the strength that comes from working in collaboration as one team.
Why We Come Together
The Managers’ Conference is more than an event—it’s a space to pause, reflect and realign. Away from the pace of daily responsibilities, we gathered to share learning, celebrate achievements and imagine what’s next.
Throughout the day, sessions encouraged reflections, collaboration and creativity. Key themes included:
- Our Journey and Vision – understanding our roots, the journey so far and our shared direction for the future
- Mission and Purpose – exploring our organisational ethos and values that guide our award-winning care
- Team Building – further strengthening and building upon connections between colleagues from operational and support functions
- Purpose as a Driving Force – reflecting on what motivates us and how this is used effectively in our daily practice
- Housing and Quality Environments – showcasing how we go above and beyond in providing homes tailored to people’s individual needs and environments created in line with individual preferences.
- Quality and Therapeutic Services – reaffirming our commitment to working in collaboration to achieve safe, effective, person-centred care for the people supported within our services.
Together, these sessions helped us take stock of our progress and achievements whilst looking towards the future with renewed clarity and a shared direction
Voices from the Day
Dan Wade, Head of Learning & Development, shared:
“Our conference explored our mission, our purpose, and the reasons behind what we do—reflecting on where we’ve been and where we are heading. The day gave us all a powerful sense of collaboration, a shared feeling of meaning, and an energy that connected us across every role and background.
Whether it was completing a guided meditation, listening to housing statistics and how we go above and beyond, or learning more about how we collaborate to build positive futures—unity was felt in every moment. It was a unity that can only be created through hard work, shared understanding, and a collective desire to succeed.”
Jenny Payne, CEO, reflected:
“Recently I had the pleasure of attending our Annual Conference ‘Securing Futures – Together’, bringing together leaders across the group. It was such a pleasure to spend the day together, reflecting on where we’ve come from, imagining what the future could look like, and reminding ourselves of the purpose that drives us every day.”
