Journey Across Befriending: Online (May)

Free

Everyone who attended including my own team seemed to really enjoy it and value the opportunity to meet others in the befriending sector… One member of our team commented that the afternoon had ‘renewed her enthusiasm for befriending’ which was a great outcome!

About the event

This informal Roadshow Event is being hosted online, for those of you unable to attend our in-person events.  It will follow the same format and will include opportunity for networking.

During the session there will be time for us to discuss and share some of the topics relevant to befriending.  They will be of interest whether you are from a new project, or a long established project.  The format will be relaxed with plenty of interaction where you can gain support and insight from each other.

Who is this event for?

This event is relevant to anyone working in befriending and open to both members and non members of Befriending Networks. It will be of interest to any type of projects – from new projects to long-established services.

Cost

Roadshow events are free to both members and non-members of Befriending Networks.

Your Travel Guide

Everyone who attends the roadshow online will receive a free digital copy of the Journey Across Befriending Travel Guide, which includes:

• Top tips for how to approach different topics in befriending, such as developing your service model or recruiting volunteers
• Resources and training to help you take your next steps
• A Befriending Roadmap to help you navigate running a befriending project, no matter what stage you’re at

What are roadshow events?

Prior to 2020, Befriending Networks held regular in-person networking events around the UK called ‘Common Ground Meetings’.  Following feedback from our members, who are keen to return to some face-to-face events, we have developed the roadshow events to give members the opportunity to meet as a network. This online session is offered to enable those who can’t make it to our in-person events to take part.

Our networking events are a safe and friendly space for those working within community projects to come together, network, share and compare experiences, and learn from one another. If you have anything you’d like to discuss, please let us know in advance of the session.
