30th July 2025

Book your Early Bird ticket to get a £10 discount on training

It’s just 100 days until our network gathers online for our Annual Conference on Wednesday 5 November! We’ll be hearing inspiring examples of befriending in action, taking part in peer learning, reflecting on the year, and making plans for what’s next.

This year’s theme is Collaboration and Partnerships, and it’s all about making connections so we can learn from each other and build the sector’s capacity together.

Book before 1 October and receive an early bird reward of a £10 discount code. This will be issued to attendees post-event and is valid for any training event taking place between 17 November 2025 and 31 March 2026.

We’ll be announcing a full agenda soon – book your space and join us for a day of connection, learning, and celebration!
