  1. Kind Cardiff: Connections for Radical Action — Cardiff, United Kingdom

    22 November 2019

    Cardiff is rich in its offers of kindness and this event explores the many and varied applications and power of kindness as well as the barriers and risks attached.

    Could our collective power make these offers more impactful? Cardiff like many cities, can also feel lonely and fractured, can kindness bring people together in new ways?

    Can we tell a new story in Cardiff? Come and tell us how and be part of something radically kind.

    Lunch and refreshments provided.

  6. System Reflect — Birmingham

    04 November 2019

    An event by Mayday Trust: There’s a lot of talk within the sector around strength-based practice and asset based work, but what does it really mean to work in a truly person-led way?

    Based on years of experience developing a whole systems approach to strength-based work, we are delighted to present System Reflect, a one-day session that shares the learning (and sometimes the pain) of developing and delivering the Personal Transitions Service (PTS), a highly personalised, grassroots approach that places power and control in the hands of the people, not the system.
