You can also find out about the ecumenical work that’s going on across the County.
Let us know whether you are coming in advance if possible! Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!

I’m Rich, and I led the development of Healthy Dialogues, a free online toolkit developed with Black Thrive, with support from Impact on Urban Health and NHS Southeast London Integrated Care Board.
It was created first for Black and mixed-heritage children and young people. But it’s for every child and young person, whatever their background, and for any faith leader, community worker, volunteer, parent or carer who supports them.
It helps trusted adults, like youth leaders, pastors, imams and family hub workers, listen well and know what to say next. It has a five-minute checklist and worked examples of hard conversations.
Families can read the whole toolkit in their own language, including Somali, Yorùbá, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Polish and Portuguese.
The family pages explain referrals, meetings and rights in plain English. They’re there for any parent or carer who isn’t sure where to turn.
It’s free to use, you don’t need an account, and you don’t have to sign up. It works on a phone.
