This event follows on from the first Connecting the Connectors event, in September 2024, in partnership with the ESCC 'Connecting People and Places' programme in Hastings.
Over 60 frontline workers including volunteers from a range of local organisations, clubs, groups, businesses, etc. came together to discuss their different projects and roles, make connections to others doing similar things and to take time to have a face to face conversation with new and existing colleagues, contacts and collaborators.
Many attendees said that they would be interested in further Hastings events like this both on a smaller more informal scale and at larger knowledge exchange and networking events too.
Pop in briefly, or stay for the whole session and chat to as many people as you like. No agenda - just a chance to come together with other people working in our community.

Following the approval by the Government of the Hastings Neighbourhood Board 10yr Regeneration Plan in March 2026, we are pleased to welcome Kevin Boorman, Independent Chair of the Hastings Neighbourhood Board, supported by Josh Broadway, Pride in Place Programme Manager, to our HCN event to deliver a presentation about the community services in Hastings where the money will be invested. There will be a Marketplace where you can bring information leaflets etc about the work of your organisation and the chance to network with other attendees. There will also be the opportunity to take part in one of four workshops looking at partnership working, building trust across roles, organisations & communities, strategies for managing challenges and different expectations, and identifying mechanisms for sustaining collaboration.
Upgrade your professional toolkit and grow your network over a great lunch at our hands on Soft Skills Training Workshop. To book yourself a place, go to: www.rva.uk.com/events
