Quarterly Impact Report: May - July 2025

👥 Pastoral Care in the Spotlight!

💬 Attendees said:

“It allowed individuals to express themselves and talk about how they are feeling”; “It taught us to be confident and assertive – to never give up”. 100% of respondents said the workshop would improve their workplace wellbeing and workplace communication"

Our launch and our very first Pastoral Care workshops at North West Region NHS International Midwifery event in June 2025... Wow, what a turnout! Over 100 attendees joined us to explore their journey, pastoral care challenges, career development and what support they need to thrive.

All attendees were provided with our free Mini Thrive Guide, to support their career development, communication & resilience!

🤝 Collaboration Magic

Kinari had a great first quarter for collaborations – partnering with ZIMNA-UK and linking in with organisations such as TresaCare who work in a similar space. We have made great connections with some of the recruitment hubs for displaced carers, such as SESCA, to allow us to signpost individuals to their services.

Kinari has become a member of Social Enterprise UK and also a member of Trust4London’s Employment Legal Advice Network, allowing us to build our teams knowledge and our capacity to offer support and advocacy.

💻 Courses and Preceptorship

💬 Feedback:

One Nurse (who had applied for over 200 jobs before becoming part of our displaced carers initiative) told us “I wish I had known you six months ago, I would have been a Band 6 by now!”

Our team have been working away HARD in the background creating resources for an exciting preceptorship programme for care home nurses! We hope to be able to release some of our resources as open source, to engage with more care organisations and also allow our displaced carers to benefit.

We’ve been able to support some Nurses with CBT and OSCE preparation, registration and interview preparation.
