Neighbourhoods and Communities Conference
Wednesday 18 November 2026
09:15 to 13:00
Mark your calendars! We're excited to announce that this year’s Community Links Bromley conference will be held on Wednesday 18th November at Bromley United Reformed Church, from 9.15am to 1pm.
This conference is your opportunity to think, learn and connect as charities and community groups with key local decision makers from local government as well as health. This year’s theme, Neighbourhoods and Communities, focuses on the vital role we can all play in building connections and resilience in the places people call home.
We are delighted to advise that the event will be opened by Sir Richard Douglas. Sir Richard is the Joint Chair for NHS South East London and NHS South West London Integrated Care Boards. He will be joined by Donna Glover, Director of Adult Social Services Bromley.
Across the morning, we’ll explore how neighbourhood working can move beyond structures and systems to be genuinely rooted in community voice, relationships, and lived experience.
Through exploring and developing different topics, attendees will have the opportunity to share knowledge, learn from others, and leave feeling equipped and inspired to act.
Conference attendees will also have the opportunity to attend two workshops throughout the morning and an opening plenary. Each workshop will be led by experts, who will share their perspectives and experiences, and facilitate group discussion to help you develop your knowledge and ideas.
Throughout the morning, we will be exploring the topics:
- How to tell your story with data and AI? AI readiness for small VCSE organisations
- Neighbourhood health: what it means for us as residents and local communities?
- Civil Society Covenant: The Covenant is a new principles-based arrangement for resetting the relationship between the UK Government and civil society. What will this mean for Bromley?
Plus, more workshops to be announced!
Registration, networking and refreshments open from 9.15am, and welcome and introductiosn begin at 9:45. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.
