This document summarizes a workshop aimed at helping partners of the ECPP (Plymouth) create sustainable impact in their communities as a result of the SS2N program. The workshop covered defining what success looks like, harnessing joined-up thinking, creating an ongoing framework, discussing personal and shared values, and imagining what success would look like tomorrow. Participants were tasked with finding small actions to progress toward their goals in the next month. By the end of the workshop, partners better understood goals and values, what a successful outcome might entail, and had homework to work toward signals of success.
