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.
