How to Design a Peer Support Service
Peer support can be a hugely effective intervention for people going through complicated life circumstances. Being able to receive empathetic support from people who have been through similar situations can reduce feelings of isolation and not being understood. This workshop outlines how to consider, plan, and troubleshoot the introduction of peer support programmes.

How to Recruit, Supervise, and Retain Peer Volunteers
The most vital component of any peer support programme is the peers themselves. These peers will have lived experience of the condition they support, and therefore have additional support needs to other volunteers. This workshop will support organisations to consider the recruitment, training, supervising, and retaining of peer volunteers, helping to ensure the sustainability of your peer support programme.

How to Engage and Maintain Lived-Experience Voices
To provide the best services to its intended users, it is recognised as essential to ensure their voices, opinions, and feedback are heard at every stage of service design, development, and implementation. It increases client understanding, support, and engagement with services, and also certifies that decisions are made with the knowledge, appreciation, and understanding of those who will be using them. This workshop is designed to support, promote, and encourage the engagement of people with lived experience within your services.

How to Write a Proposal for a Peer Support Service
A well-written proposal will make all the difference between a programme being accepted by stakeholders and decision-makers and a programme that never gets off the ground. A proposal should appeal to a number of potential readers, including funders, staff and, most importantly, the people the programme is designed to support. It should make the case for the need for a programme, the outline, and details of how it will be delivered, and how it will be judged to have been successful. This workshop will help you to understand how to write an effective proposal and service specification for a peer support service that will support the case for funding and implementation of the programme.
