7th Annual Tackling Loneliness Conference

In February 2021 there were an estimated 3.7 million chronically lonely adults in the UK, a number that has increased by over 1 million since the beginning of the pandemic (ONS, 2021). As Covid-19 restrictions have increased awareness of the importance of social and community connections, it is important we find ways of fostering these connections and providing people with the necessary support to tackle loneliness. This conference will provide a platform for sharing ideas on tackling loneliness across public, voluntary, housing, healthcare, and education sectors.
 

What is peer working? in person

A collaboration with C&I Peer Coaching service and Single Homeless Project to co-produce specific peer workforce training
 
Being in a peer role involves providing support to other people who share a common experience. In attending this course, we hope that you will gain a clear understanding of the ways in which your life experiences can be used to inspire and motivate others in their recovery. You will learn about different pathways into peer opportunities and the experience you could gain.
