National Reunion 2024

Taking place on Saturday 27th January (11:00am - 3:30pm) at the beautiful and historic venue of St John at Hackney (London), this inclusive event will welcome a diverse community of people all connected to The Forward Trust - including clients, graduates, alumni, ex-peers, staff, friends, family and loved ones.

Planned to be our largest and most ambitious event to date, organisers have ensured there will be plenty to see and do, including:

• Six lived experience shares
• Free food/refreshments
• Creative arts and crafts workshops including scrabble-picture designs, jewellery making and drawing/painting.
• Merchandise giveaways
• Live entertainment
• 20 stalls representing Forward’s key services, and stalls by partner support agencies
• Choir short performance
• Networking and chat

This inspiring day will bring together all parts of the Forward family to learn and share in a safe space, reflecting on all corners of the work we do - from starting out, recovery and ongoing transformation.

There will also be opportunities to be interviewed and contribute to a short promotional film about the work we do at The Forward Trust.
