Welcome to The Peer Partnership
The Peer Partnership’s vision is a world where people with lived experience support others. We believe that one of the best ways of overcoming difficulties in your life is to speak to those who have experienced similar situations that you’ve been through.
We work toward this vision by providing peer support solutions, where people take their experiences in overcoming obstacles and barriers to living the life they want to lead, and share them with others facing similar circumstances.

We at The Peer Partnership are working to spread the adoption of peer support by designing, developing, and implementing peer support programmes, and supporting other organisations to do the same.
Our workshop includes:
- What is peer support – Covering definitions of peer support, different forms, qualities of peer volunteers and limitations of peer services,
- Organisational considerations – Covering coordination, recruitment, promotion, development and evaluation of peer services,
- Action planning – Writing an initial action plan for how you are going to proceed.
- Risk assessments and contingencies
- Next steps
Who is it for?
This workshop is for voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations across the UK. Participants will not require any prior knowledge of peer support to participate. There will be a maximum of 15 participants per workshop.
