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.

Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to comment on the draft strategy.
Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
Are you new in post or keen to find out more about the sector? This workshop, led by HVA Director Steve Manwaring, will include a briefing about the scale and contribution of the VCSE sector in Hastings, information about the services HVA provide, and an opportunity to hear about and discuss the key issues affecting the sector.
