The Peer Partnership Forum
The Peer Partnership Forum is a space for professionals working on, or considering implementing, peer support programs in their organisation. The forum is an opportunity for these stakeholders to be updated on news in peer mentoring in their area, share best practice, and be aware of what opportunities exist for the development of peer mentoring and partnership working.
The Peer Partnership Forum will take place quarterly, and will include:
- Check in with attendees – an opportunity for attendees to talk about what they are doing in peer support
- Highlighted service – an opportunity for one of the attending services to talk about their project in detail, and get feedback from the group
- Guest speakers – providing talks on issues relevant to providing peer support
- Best practice – updates on appropriate developments within peer support

The Peer Partnership Coordinators Forum – Tuesday, 23rd March 2021
About this Event
We would like to invite you to the next meeting of the Peer Partnership’s Coordinators Forum.
The Peer Partnership Coordinators Forum is for people who are involved in delivering peer support services, or considering implementing peer support and/or service-user involvement, in the south-west. It will be an opportunity to meet with others running similar services, hear updates relevant to peer support, share best practice and see what information and resources may be available to help us in our roles.
The forum meets quarterly and offer opportunities for you to network, highlight the important work you are doing as well as a chance to learn from each other. We also hope by having this forum we will contribute to the overall promotion and importance of peer support and service-user involvement locally across all our services.
Due to current restrictions, our first meeting will be taking place on Zoom.
Our next session agenda is as follows:
