The popular events not only foster a sense of community but also serve as a valuable resource for those seeking guidance and support, particularly at this time when many are still coping with the cost-of-living crisis.

“We understand the importance of community support, especially during challenging times” said Paula Mailey, community development team leader. “Our Community Networking Breakfasts are designed to provide a platform for organisations to share their resources and for community members to gain access to the help they need. We believe that together, we can navigate through this crisis.”

In addition to the ‘Speakers’ Corner’, the event will also feature a ‘Marketplace’. This segment allows organisations to leave community information, providing attendees with an additional resource to help them navigate through the current challenges. This is followed by a sharing of information from participants on events, activity programmes and requests for support and it has been really valuable in making connections.

After the information session people mingle and this is where the real connections are made and the feedback shows great examples of partnership working – and of course there is breakfast too!
