Grudges are not restricted by gender, age, class or ethnicity. We have all known grudges; by holding them ourselves, knowing someone who has held one or have been on the receiving end of a person’s grudge. Grudges can be deep and last a lifetime. This workshop will explore from a psychodynamic perspective why we choose to keep wounds open and active, choosing to live in the past. What keeps us stuck when we actually want to move on and be free?

Habitat is a Christian housing organisation which welcomes people of all faiths and none to help build a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
To celebrate Shelter NI’s 40th anniversary this year, we are hosting an online panel discussion with the Imagine Belfast Festival of Politics and Ideas on common misconceptions of homelessness, what issues homeless organisations are facing during this time, how they are planning to continue to provide support for homeless people, and most importantly – what you can do to help!
Speaking at the event will be a panel of experienced professionals, from managers of homeless support networks in the UK to those working on the frontlines. If you’d like to find out more, there will be a chance to submit questions at the end in an interactive live format.
Sometimes managing & leading volunteer teams can present us with unique challenges that can be difficult to overcome.
Issues like:
Volunteers who have come into conflict with each other in a way that is damaging team morale
Volunteer teams who dislike & resist changes that the organisation wants to make
Volunteers who are not performing well but who are unwilling to step back
A volunteer who has clashed with a service user in a way that might damage the organisation’s reputation
may arise and need your immediate attention without there being any clear guidance on how best to resolve them.
This workshop will explain various strategies, communication styles, and conflict management skills that will help you resolve these types of difficulties. We will then explore some real case studies to think about how to apply these problem-solving techniques in practice.
This four-day accredited course provides an introduction to the skills and knowledge required to offer effective training programmes to others. At the end of the course participants will be able to develop and prepare resources for training, plan, prepare and facilitate group learning and development and reflect on own practice in learning and development.
Can you identify potential risks in your volunteering roles and projects? Do you know how assess these risks and manage them?
During this session, we will explore these issues and more, including why we need to assess risk and how volunteer managers can implement this process within their volunteer programme.
Share your views on international aid & global challenges. Habitat for Humanity will use these responses to shape their public information campaigns on global urban issues.

The UK Money Guider Network partners are thrilled to be bringing you a free lunchtime conference for front line practitioners delivering money guidance in their roles. The conference is being offered as part of the Money and Pensions Service’s Talk Money Week campaign (#TalkMoney), which is designed to get the nation talking about money, from pocket money to pensions.
In May 2021, MaPS launched four Money Guider Networks (#MoneyGuiders) to support practitioners from a range of sectors across the UK. Forums, workshops, and webinars have been running in each of the nations and now there’s a new opportunity to meet and collaborate with each other.
Take your pick from either of the 1.5hr conference sessions or come along to both and network with more people. The conference will bring together our four expert Network partners to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on money guidance and its importance for economic recovery.
Quaker Social Action (England), Hafal (Wales), Reed in partnership (Northern Ireland) and The Improvement Service (Scotland) will be sharing their insights on how the Money Guider Networks can support those on the front-line delivering money guidance, to take their help further.
