Free training from Good Practice Mentors – book onto your session now

The Good Practice Mentor Team help organisations who want to increase their engagement with, and support of, older citizens in the community.

This is a rolling programme of training courses, with new courses being added regularly.

Good Practice Mentor training is free and accessible to anyone working to reduce social isolation and loneliness for anyone over 50. It shares the learning from the 7 year Ageing Better programme (which was called Time to Shine here in Leeds) and is full of practical solutions you can adapt to the work your organisation does.

A programme of over 20 different workshops is run across a quarterly programme, join the Good Practice Mentor mailing list to be emailed about courses.
