The Peer Support Coordinators Forum May 2022

About this event

May 2022 Forum

The Peer Partnership Coordinators Forum is for organisations who are delivering or considering implementing peer support and/or service-user involvement, in Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire.

It is an opportunity to meet with others running peer support 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 four times a year and offers 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 spread of peer support and service-user involvement locally across the VCSE sector.
