The Stockwood STAR (Share, Talk and Remember) is a bereavement peer-support group in Bristol run by the community, for the community. It is supported by Jan Perry, a community development worker and local resident.

This webinar explores how Jan used the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to support the group and set strong foundations. Jan will talk through how the Stockwood STAR group developed and share recommendations for others interested in applying the ABCD approach in a similar way.

This webinar is for representatives of organisations that would like to support people to set up a self sustaining, self governing Peer Support Service in their community, using the ABCD approach. It is an opportunity to hear about such a group (Stockwood STAR in Bristol) and a chance to speak to some of the people who were involved in setting up and running the project. It will be of particular value to any community focused organisations wanting to help people make the very best of the Asset Based Community Development model to build, grow and empower support groups.

Here's a blog providing more insight on the STAR model: https://www.agebettersheff.co.uk/news/news-and-blogs/co-production-the-making-of-bristols-share-talk-and-remember-group/

This webinar will be on Zoom, a link with joining instructions will be sent out to you prior to the session.
