In this session, Jennie from the Good Practice Mentor programme will share resources and learning from the Ageing Better programme to address the challenges of reducing loneliness and isolation, supporting you to feel more confident finding and highlighting the voices of older people in your communities.
As well as an overview of the programme and the tailored support they offer, they’ll highlight some of their top practical tips to reach out and find the most isolated in your communities and invite their voices into the conversation about developing and improving services.
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.
