Great Youth Charities Event

Supporting Children and Young People

The afternoon provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about one another’s work, share current priorities and challenges, and explore practical opportunities for collaboration and support.  The feedback so far indicates that the event met its aims and people would be happy for such events to continue.

The programme for the afternoon covered

• A brief introduction to Epsom Rotary, its community activities and the aims of the Epsom Rotary Charity Network.
• Short presentations from participating charities and organisations, providing an opportunity to introduce their work, priorities and current challenges, and highlight potential areas for collaboration.
• A networking and discussion session, during which participating organisations had an information table and spoke directly with Epsom Rotary members and one another.
• A closing discussion which reflected on common themes, opportunities for collaboration and potential next steps.
