Dialogue Society’s North East Branch was delighted to host the North England Regional Quarterly Planning Meeting and Workshop in Newcastle, welcoming local teams from across the region, including North East, Sheffield, Hull, Leeds, Worksop, Manchester and Liverpool.

The meeting brought together staff and volunteers to reflect on recent achievements, strengthen regional collaboration and develop local strategies for the summer programme. Participants took part in interactive workshops, planning sessions and discussions focused on community engagement, volunteer development and future initiatives.

The programme also featured valuable training delivered by Executive Director Sadik Sinar, offering insights into Dialogue Society’s vision, strategic priorities and future direction. The gathering provided an excellent opportunity to welcome new team members and celebrate the dedication and contribution of volunteers during Volunteers’ Week.

Dialogue Society extends its sincere thanks to everyone who travelled from across North England to participate. The event highlighted the strength of collaboration across our regional branches and reaffirmed our shared commitment to building more connected, inclusive and cohesive communities.
