Clinks Annual Conference 2017

Please note bookings have now closed for this event, if you have any questions please contact events@clinks.org. 

Our theme for this year is 'Resilience: responding to adversity and change in the criminal justice system'.

Resilience unites all voluntary organisations. Our members, and their passionate staff and volunteers, adapt and respond innovatively and creatively to the challenges they encounter. They form partnerships and networks, devise new services and collaborate with others - supporting people to cope and thrive in difficult situations.

There will be three areas of focus:

• Organisational resilience:
  How have organisations bounced back from adversity and met new challenges?
  How have they adapted to change?
• Workforce resilience:
  How do organisations support and value their staff and volunteers?
• Service User resilience:
  How can we learn from the resilience displayed by many of those who access the services of voluntary organisations?

You will have the opportunity to:

• Hear from key policy and decision makers.
• Take part in interactive sessions run by members and service users.
• Exchange ideas with organisations and individuals who have innovated and responded creatively to changes and challenges.
• Discuss how you can implement similar methods in your work.
• Network with management and practitioners from key voluntary organisations, government officials, and funders.

The event will be held in central London, 5 mins from Holborn. The event will start at 09.30 and finish at 16.30 and will be followed by the AGM and a drinks reception.
