Marr LLCP lunch + learn

Bring your lunch for a series of online talks focused on developing skills and overcoming common challenges experienced by community groups, established and emerging. Learn and connect with other groups and be inspired by examples of great community work – as well as learning from what hasn’t gone so well!

The talks are being organised by the Marr Local Learning Community Partnership (LLCP) and are planned to take place monthly. They will cover a range of topics that groups often find challenging in achieving what they want to do, from recruiting volunteers to dealing with red tape, dealing with conflict to making decisions as a group. Each time we will hear from a local community group or worker who has experience of that particular challenge.

For the first talk, we are excited to welcome Sue Briggs from south Aberdeenshire. Sue has many years of experience in community work, both in local authority practice and management, and as a community member in local projects. She is also a co-author of 3 books about community work. Sue will lead a session on planning in community work called Arran Jumper Planning, looking at the importance of planning for community projects and what can make the difference between a plan on paper and a really effective plan in practice

Each session will be facilitated by a member of the Marr LLCP who can signpost people to further support and information as required. These events are free and everyone is welcome.
