11th November, 10.30am-1.30pm, Murial Matters House
Join us for our next Connecting the Connectors event, where we bring local practitioners and stakeholders together for shared learning, and to increase understanding what is already happening, where, when and how.
This meeting will have a Befriending and Good Neighbours focus. Some proposed discussion topics include reaching those most in need and reducing loneliness; what are the major challenges faced by these services; what communication channels work; do younger people need befriending services.
Includes refreshments.

Making Every Contact Count (MECC), this is a behavioural change technique which is now commonly used by health and social care staff during their day-to-day interactions or health appointments with individuals, although you don’t need to be in one of these roles to attend the training, it can be beneficial to anyone.
Our monthly meeting for organisations and individuals working with/for older people locally
Ahead of the 2026 Fat Tuesday celebrations in Hastings, we are holding an umbrella workshop! Come along and decorate your umbrella, guided by a professional artist from Radiator Arts, and bring it to the Preservation Sunday parade. It will be a vibrant session, full of colour, and all materials will be provided. Please bring your own umbrella, try charity shops for interesting and affordable examples. We will provide fruit, light snacks and tea and coffee throughout the session.
This workshop is brought to you by the HVA Macmillan Cancer Champions project, that promotes conversations in our communities, and is open to all.
Register below or email Yasmine: [email protected] to book your place.
Look forward to seeing you there!
