Last year's attendees told us:

‘My highlight of the conference was the buzz and the coming together of people in the sector who need that feeling of being together.’ – Matt Hatton – Matt Hatton Coaching

‘I appreciated the focus on hope. It was really good to be able to pray in a small group. I love that the role of faith is recognsied and seen as important’ – Carol Webster – Gravesham Sanctuary

‘Genuinely one of the best conferences that I have been to this year, in terms of interesting and informative sessions that were applicable to my setting/role in supporting churches with winter night shelters.’ – Nicole McKeever – Diocese of Southwark

‘I honestly felt that this was the highlight of my year. Often we feel that we need to be squeezed out of shape to become a statutory provider, being free to be who we are and being celebrated for the difference we bring to the sector was refreshing and inspiring and I left feeling energised.’ – Angie Allgood – NEWway
