Public Participation Network (PPN) Autumn Series of Training
The Public Participation Network (PPN) is delighted to offer an autumn series of training sessions and courses for its member groups. We hope that the content of the different online and in person sessions is helpful, interesting, and fun. We also hope that meeting other people from the network is useful for groups and organisations.
Please email Ruth if you would like to sign up for one of the FREE sessions below.
Healthy You Workshops
The Healthy You workshop was developed by Martin Saunders and Eveanna O’Meara to help workers and volunteers in the community sector, manage their physical and mental well-being, to avoid burnout, and to equip them with the tools and information to do so.
