Southend City Council Networking Events give practitioners an opportunity to meet with other people who work in the different neighbourhoods of Southend, to hear about services and what is on offer for residents and families.
You may be a social worker, care navigator, charity worker, health colleague or working in a school. The event is open to all practitioners, offering an opportunity to network and learn from each other whilst finding out about what services exist and who is working in your area.
These networking events will be held every term, the more people attend the more connected the city will become which allows for a better offer for the residents and families in Southend. The events will be informal with tea, coffee and biscuits.
Please keep an eye on this page for the upcoming event date/time/location.
