Running a Befriending Service in Wales

Tuesday 14th February, 10am - 12:30pm / Dydd Mawrth 14 Chwefror 2023, 10am - 12:30pm

Zoom

I enjoyed the session and the opportunity for networking with organisations in a similar position as us. The idea of tester parts for the different courses you run was really good as it gave me a focused overview of important points we need to consider when planning the service. 

The training was excellent, there was a good number of facilitators to share the speaking and technology requirements. There was plenty of interactive sessions to allow for discussions and to break up the learning of information.

Join our membership officers online on Tuesday 14th February, 10am - 12:30pm. This training session is an interactive discussion and networking event designed specifically for new befriending projects or staff that are new to their role. Open to everyone within Wales, this is a chance to network with members and non-members of Befriending Networks, growing your contacts and peer-support. Join our Welsh Membership Officer, Roger, who will be facilitating this event with support from Sandra, Membership Officer for England.
