We offer support for organisations to increase their engagement with local communities. We can work with you to make improvements and changes to your services, learn more about co-production, and to reach more people in your community. Find out more about the Good Practice Mentors and meet the team.
The Good Practice Mentor programme is an innovative project that brings together legacy, learning and resources from Ageing Better, a seven year Test & Learn project that worked to reduce social isolation and loneliness in people aged over 50, and engaged more than 150,000 people in over 366 projects.
Our delivery partners share learning, resources and skills to provide a collaborative local response to reducing social isolation and loneliness via training, bespoke support and innovative resources – including our co-production toolkit.
We work on a national level to address challenges faced by organisations striving to reach, connect and empower their communities. We can help you to find and highlight diverse and seldom heard voices in your local communities and create environments that foster social connection. We’ll also support you to build skills and confidence, create new connections, influence decision makers and drive system change.
Our interactive online workshops share practical tools and tips around accessing the voice and insight of local communities, creating accessible and welcoming spaces for developing local opportunities, connections and networks, and finding and engaging with the people you’d like to meet.
