With this type of work the first thing that drops off the agenda is looking after yourself. The Community Practitioners Network is about having those critical friends that ask those difficult questions. It helps your own learning and is useful for developing your skills, and challenging your own practice.
Phil McGrath, Centre Manager, The Corner, Lancaster
I joined the CPN to connect with other practitioners, develop my practice, and to be motivated. The Peer Learning Circles really help me focus on my practice. I feel more confident in my practice and motivated in my role.
Sam Parker, Bristol City Council
“This type of work can be isolating so it is nice that the CPN gives you a space to come together.”
Helen Trueman, Development Co-ordinator, Grace Mary to Lion Farm (GM2LF) Big Local, West Midlands
It is really important to have reflective spaces for our own wellbeing and developing our skillset. This is often not provided as part of organisation's support systems; and it’s also really valuable to have external opportunities to get a fresh perspective. This is why I joined the CPN.
Penny Vincent, All the Small Things CIC (Director)
