Annual Conference 2020

Given current restrictions, this year's Annual Conference will be hosted Online. This special opportunity will enable befriending organisations throughout the UK to gather together in the digital space. Annual Conference is always one of the highlights in Befriending Networks' calendar and we're striving to ensure this year's conference will be a memorable and meaningful experience for the membership.

Booking is Open!

This year's conference will be composed of online sessions held over three days. Each day will highlight a particular aspect of what #BefriendingIs. Sessions will include keynote speakers sharing exciting new research and developments in befriending followed by a choice of workshops that will allow for discussion and networking. These will be hosted on an online platform (moodle) facilitated by Wren & Greyhound.

Full conference programme forthcoming.

In recognition of the challenges our membership has faced this year, the conference will be free to members. To ensure as many organisations can participate as possible, we ask that members only register 1 staff-member/day. Bookings will initially be open to members only and may open to non-members if space allows.
