In 2003 Vincents Art Workshop approached the people at Tall Poppies and asked if they could help with a fundraising celebration event.  They offered to help with the event and then suggested that we continue the connection with a partnership.

The partnership was established and continued when Tall Poppies merged with Navigate and became Thought Partners.

This relationship has become incredibly valuable to Vincents on many levels.  Tall Poppies originally became a Friend of Vincents and made monthly financial donations to Vincents.  They also offered that a staff member would serve on the Vincents Committee.

Currently, the contribution of Thought Partners includes their Director, Lorraine George, serving as a Committee Member and our Treasurer.  This involves preparing our monthly accounts, our Financial Statements for audit and countless hours of advice and support at many Vincents' events.

For many years a staff member from Tall Poppies, and more recently, Thought Partners has facilitated our annual Planning Day.

All this help and support has been of immense value to a small and financially challenged community group.  In addition to this, to know that people of the caliber that work at Thought Partners value the work of Vincents and wish to be seen to be partnered with us has helped us to increase our confidence and sense of pride for the work that we do. 

Thank you Thought Partners!
