About the CPN

Local Trust have funded Big Local Workers and volunteers access to Community Organisers’ Community Practitioners’ Network.

This network is made up of community practitioners from across the UK working in a range of careers in the community.

It provides expert led webinars twice a month on subjects such as reaching out and engaging with the community, working across different ethnicities and faith, managing conflict, creating a strategy to bring about change in communities, managing stress and avoiding burnout to name only a few. All webinars are tailored around your wants and needs.

We have a catalogue of over 45 past webinars that you can watch in your own time, and we are on hand for support and guidance.

We also hold monthly reflective sessions facilitated by our Lead Trainer, where you can share successes and challenges with your peers and problem solve together. These sessions are pivotal to your mental wellbeing and connecting with your peers to create an ongoing support network.
