This week was our final group meeting before our presentation with our mentors. Our main aim was to ensure all previous tasks were completed and that the project was fully up to date before moving into the final presentation stage. We also began building the presentation, deciding what to include and making sure our slides reflected the areas we had previously researched and developed. This was our final chance to align everything as a group and ensure the presentation was clear, organised, and ready to showcase our project.
We decided it would be most effective for each group member to focus on their own area of design and research for the presentation. This made it easier for everyone to clearly understand their role, know what they were responsible for, and confidently explain their section when presenting to our mentors. We also made sure to follow the to-do list that Paul gave us the previous week, using it as a guide for what needed to be included. This helped keep the presentation structured, relevant, and aligned with the expectations for showcasing our project progress.

With this guide in place, it helps us clearly understand what needs to be completed as a group while also providing a structured direction to follow. This ensures everyone is aligned and aware of their role within the presentation. It also allows the flow of the presentation to run more smoothly, reducing the risk of confusion or uncertainty, and helping us deliver our work in a clear and organised way.
After discussing the presentation structure, I decided to take responsibility for the introduction and ending slides. My focus was on explaining why our project matters beyond the presentation itself, highlighting the wider impact it could have within prison systems and family support services. This included exploring how Anchor could be implemented across health trusts and prisons in Northern Ireland, while also reinforcing our main objective of supporting young fathers in maintaining and rebuilding relationships with their children and families.

With the presentation agenda organised, we reached a strong stage where everyone was on the same page and ready to begin building the final presentation together. Clear roles helped ensure all key areas of the project were covered. We aim to keep the presentation simple, clear, and visually engaging for our mentors, focusing more on showcasing our visuals and service solution rather than making it overly information-heavy.
