personal skills and knowledge which is needed to grow for the future development. And personal
development planning is being done on the basis of the audit that what skills are needed to be
improve and what resources can be used. This is a reflection report which will help to understand
and identify the skills needed in the group activity of the fundraising for the Brain Tumour
charity. Through this evaluation of the individual development is going to be done. Reflection
will be given on the group exercise with the help of the Gibbs reflection model. Further more
Personal development plan will be created to develop the required skills and knowledge.
MAIN BODY
I have participated in the group exercise with the n umber of team members in the
Fundraising for the Brain Tumour charity to support the children, young people and their
families who are affected by the brain tumour and also provide information to them regarding
prevention from the brain tumour. In this activity, we need to identify and set ideas to collect the
fund from the people, set the target and time how much amount we need to collect and in what
time (Griffiths, 2016). This group activity helped me to identify the weak skills of mine which I
need to work on, that can help me to my further development in the future. While performing
this group exercise I had to face some problem with my team members like time management,
team work etc. which was some time creating problem to perform the task effectively to raise the
fund for the Brain tumour.
Through the formative group exercise with the group member of the fundraising for the
brain tumour I have identified that I have good communication skill but with this I need to have
confidence as well. For example, to gain the fund from the people, need to tell them information
regarding the fund for what we are collecting the fund and also give them information about the
prevention from the brain tumour, in had clearly convey the message but when need to give the
detailed and long information some time I was facing problem of fumble in my communication
and I failed to give them detail information regarding the brain tumour (Jackson and Wilton,
2016). This helped me to identify that I have good communication skill but simultaneously need
to have confidence level also which will make my communication more effective. This will be
helpful for the future development of mine. In this situation in have contributed to convey the
message about the Brain tumour funding to the people specially to the teenagers and young

people, and other team members supported me to give detailed information to the people when I
was fumble, this helped a lot to raise the fund for the Brain tumour charity.
In this group activity, I have examined that, I have weak planning skill. This created the
problem to create plan and strategies to collect fund from the people for the brain tumour charity.
This cause lack of participation of mine in the planning activity to raise fund (Cottrell, 2015). For
example, all the team members need to set plan for, how we are going to collect the fund and
from what resource, locations, which person go to which location, ideas to raise fund how we
could influence the different people like teenagers, young people etc. in all this setting plan I
have lack contributed myself. I have analysed that I need to be improved my planning skills
which will helpful in the future as well, like in the future employability. I analysed that in this
group activity and setting plan I have contributed less as compare to the other group members if I
was good at the planning skill then group members might have more resources, planning could
be more effective. But other group member contributed a lot and build an effective planning, this
had helped us to collect more resources (Cheshire, 2016). We divided the group members to go
in couple and try to influence people to give for the charity.
I have also evaluated that my time management skill is weak. For example, I can not able
to manage the time and make time to the charitable group activity to collect fund. In this all the
group members had decided to meet up at 5:00 in the evening to perform the group activity. But
I reached late at the decided location and all the activity got imbalanced and the task to collect
fund started late. This cause, group members got the minimum time to collect fund for the
charity else when I reached on time then we could also collect more fund for the charity. This is
happened because of my poor punctuality. I have analysed that I need to improve my time
management skills and need to be punctual in the daily life. For this I will have to do proper
planning for all my works, daily routine, school timing and other activities (McLean, 2019). This
will help me to be punctual in the daily life to get extra time for the activities. This will not help
me only in my daily life but also help me the employability in the future, if I go to the interview
and any work need to reach on time. I have evaluated that, I have contributed in the collecting
the fund but not through time management skill. But all the group members were on time the
contributed a lot but only because of me activity get started late and resultant we could not able
to collect more fund for the brain tumour charity
