PURPLE POST - January 2025
Welcome to the January issue of Purple Post!
Welcome and Happy New Year, Parenta Team!
As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve been on together this past year.
2024 wasn’t without its challenges - from navigating cashflow pressures and striving for better QAR, to tackling the work surrounding out-of-funded learners and addressing clawback after the ‘hard close’. Each of these hurdles demanded extra effort, patience, and resilience. Through it all, your teamwork and dedication have been outstanding. You are the core of Parenta, making a daily difference by changing children’s lives and supporting early years professionals across the UK.
While 2025 may bring its challenges, I’m confident that with the strength, passion, and determination this team has shown, we’ll rise to meet them together.
Let’s welcome the new year with open minds, celebrate our achievements, and keep making a positive difference. Thank you for everything you do to make Parenta a place of growth and inspiration.
Here’s to a successful, fulfilling, and joyful 2025!
Join the 2025 Parenta Trust Maidstone to Monaco Rally!
It’s back! Registration is now open for this exciting 2,000-mile road trip from 25th to 29th June 2025, crossing eight countries, including the stunning Furka Pass. More than just an adventure, this rally supports Parenta Trust's mission to build pre-schools for orphaned and disadvantaged children in deprived areas worldwide.
Enjoy daily challenges, camaraderie, and the chance to make a meaningful impact, with funds raised going directly to creating schools in Eastern Africa. To date, six pre-schools have been built, giving 1,400 children annually the chance to thrive through education.
Why not put together a team for the Rally and take on this incredible challenge? Whether you ‘rally’ colleagues from your own team or join forces with others across the business, this is the perfect opportunity to work together, have fun, and make a real difference for a great cause!
PS: The rally is a 5-day event, from Wednesday to Sunday and any Parenta team members who participate are given an extra day’s annual leave, so you only need to take 2 days out of your holiday!
Sign up NOW and help bring education and hope to those who need it most!
