Please note: This is not a Proper Good networking event, which will also be taking place in January, but is certainly worth attending if you can make it.
Hi everyone, we’re new to Proper Good and I’m pleased to have a new opportunity to get to know some new Social Enterprises in the Borough and perhaps reacquaint myself with others.
One of the things I am acutely aware of is the value of working in collaboration with other organisations, whether in formal working arrangements or via sharing of expertise or signposting.
TalkFIRST has been around for almost 10 years now.
Our work is focused on relationships, communication and conflict resolution (mainly for families).
We use a variety of ‘tools’ through our Building Better Relationships programme, such as mediation, family meetings, direct work for parents, children and young people, whether together or separately.
Our work supports families to help improve family dynamics, build confidence and gain understanding of child and adult behaviours, promote good mental health and resilience.
Take a look at our website to find out more about us and how we can support you.
We are now in the planning stages for the second year of the Proper Good programme.
It has been a brilliant journey so far, and we are constantly learning about how we can best support local organisations.
Thank you to everyone who attended the recent feedback events on Social Enterprise Day. And to all those who have contributed their thoughts and ideas in many other ways.
If you have any thoughts on how you would like support in YEAR 2! Please get in touch with Alex at a.winstanley@wlcommunity.org.uk, so that we can continue to shape the programme around the needs of our communities.
