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.

This month's meeting theme is Warm Welcome spaces.
Come and hear about the work of the Hastings & St Leonards Cultural Connections Group with a presentation from Mandy Curtis, the current Chair of the Group. Take the opportunity to network with other local organisations in the Arts & Culture arena who will have stalls in the Marketplace. Culture plays a vital role in building strong communities, fostering social inclusion and empowering residents and the cultural landscape of Hastings & St Leonards encompasses various organisations, events and initiatives that contribute to the area's vibrant culture scene.
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.
