About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

How do we know if peer support is making a difference? If you’re involved in peer support and looking for meaningful, practical ways to evaluate your impact, this event is for you.

We’re working with a wide range of partners to make evaluation more accessible and useful for peer support organisations across Scotland.

At this event, we’ll be showcasing our brand-new ‘Let’s Evaluate Peer Support’ tool, created to simplify the evaluation process and help you tell the story of your work with confidence.


Supporting peer leadership. This Peer Connects event is for peer support groups, organisations, and practitioners who want to better understand and demonstrate the impact of their work.

Due to our funding commitments, this event is for people working in Scotland, but learning will be shared in our newsletter and through the Peer Recovery Hub.
