Example programme
The Orchard team is dedicated to creating a varied and exciting programme that caters to the interests of all attendees. Each year, attendees participate in the "My Journey" exercise, where they detail their interests and goals for the upcoming year. This information is regularly reviewed and serves as the foundation for our program planning, ensuring that it is truly led by the people attending.
