What to expect

 

Our sessions are about more than just giving information – they’re interactive, supportive, and designed to help you move forward. 

 

Real-Time Support: You won’t have to wait months for a specific training topic. Each session is flexible, so we can dive into what matters most to you right now.

​

Open to All Levels: You don’t need a fully formed plan or experience to take part. Many people come along without a clear idea and leave inspired and ready to take action.

​

A Collaborative Approach: This isn’t a one-way presentation – it’s a chance to work together, share experiences, and discover new ways forward. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space for exploring what’s possible.

Each session is a chance to:

​

Discover new ideas and possibilities:  Whether you have a plan or are just exploring, you’ll gain insights and inspiration from others with similar goals.

​​

Create practical action plans: Leave each session with a meaningful, manageable next step that feels right for you – no overwhelming to-do lists, just clear, achievable actions.

​​

Solve problems together: Share challenges and get input from people who’ve faced similar situations, with support from the Feeling Connected team and others in the session.

 

Connect with like-minded people: Strengthen your network and tap into a supportive group of community builders dedicated to reducing loneliness and isolation.​​​​​

What participants are saying ...

"I felt downtrodden and nearly didn't come. I had so much going on in my head. I had all the materials and ideas but didn't know what to do with it. This is really helpful and I'm so glad I came. You understood me perfectly and what gets in my way. Thank you so much!"

"It’s been nice to do more than one workshop because I was in different places at different times. The ongoing support means can have the right conversation at the right time and build the relationships that I need"
