The day will focus on Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing and will feature six workshop sessions delivered by BSW CAMHS, Swindon and Gloucestershire Mind, Mighty Girls and Rag and Bone Arts, with attendees able to choose the sessions most relevant to their role and interests.

Panel Session: Why Youth Work Matters: Shared Reflections from Practice

Cake and Networking

Sessions will finish at 3.30pm but, if you're able to stay, please join us for an informal opportunity to continue conversations, share ideas and connect with others working with young people across Wiltshire and Swindon.

The Youth Partnership brings together voluntary, community and statutory organisations to strengthen, connect and champion youth work by building relationships between organisations, identifying shared priorities and enabling coordinated action.

Lunch and drinks will be provided. Please inform us when booking a place if you have any dietary requirements.

To help us include as many organisations as possible, please limit initial bookings to 1 or 2 people per organisation. We will review this and extend bookings if spaces become available. We are keen to have representation from as many groups across Wiltshire and Swindon as possible.
