Looking ahead to 2026

The priorities on this page are fictional planning examples, not approved Northstar commitments. A published version should distinguish confirmed commitments from ideas still under consideration and identify the locations or audiences each applies to.

Example areas to consider

Illustrative options for planning, not a promise of funding or eligibility.

Local food access

Example planning idea: explore whether employee volunteering or company support could complement established local food programs.

  • Confirm participating locations and partner interest before announcing an opportunity.

Practical skills sharing

Example planning idea: assess whether teams can share job-related skills through partner-led community sessions.

  • Agree the audience, safety arrangements, and partner approval before scheduling.

Accessible participation

Example planning idea: review how event timing and location affect office and frontline employee access.

  • State eligibility and participation details in each event listing.
