We would like to know how you get on and we are interested in hearing about how you help people with their

relationship or develop a community activity. It would be good if you could capture what happens when

you do. We have templates if that is useful? Please focus on what you have done to help and what

happened as a result rather than details about the individuals you support.

Suggestions to improve the e-resource or useful local contacts are very welcome too.

Tell us your story



You are invited to an event at the Showroom in Sheffield on Wednesday 26 September to thank you for getting involved as a volunteer and to hear about your experience as a relationship champion. We hope you can make it.
