Peer Connects: Peer Supporters Practice Exchange

We don’t often get the chance to gather as peers — but when we do, it matters.

Join the Scottish Recovery Network for a practical, in-person Peer Connects event designed to support peer supporters from across Scotland. Whether you’re a volunteer, practitioner, or someone with lived experience supporting others, this is your space to reflect, connect, and strengthen your practice alongside people who truly “get it.”

You’ll hear from a brilliant line-up of Peer Leaders helping shape the future of peer support in Scotland, including:

• Paul Byrne, Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action

• Maja Mitchell-Grigorjeva, Bipolar Scotland

• Donna Paterson-Harvie, Neil’s Hugs Foundation

This informal, supportive session is all about real-life practice, shared experience, and community building. Come along to:

• Share learning and challenges

• Build relationships with other peer supporters

• Take inspiration back to your own work

📰 Don’t forget: the latest Scottish Recovery Network newsletter is also out now, packed with events and opportunities to explore.
