The January/February Get-Togethers brought together 25 participants from 16 organisations for Coffee, Cake & Collaboration sessions hosted by BPRCVS’ Volunteering Hub Team. 

The sessions celebrated achievements and shared ambitions for 2026:

• Carers Link: funded a paid worker & expanded peer support for carers of people living with dementia.
• Anne’s Crafty Crop for Wellbeing: fundraising success & plans to move to a larger venue.
• The Oasis, Phoenix RDA, FUNtasticYOGA, Pendle Food for All and others shared wins & goals for growth and community impact.

Attendees highlighted the importance of networking, collaboration, volunteer management, and self-care for group leaders. Sessions ended with a gentle sitting yoga session courtesy of BOOST Wellbeing.
