National Reunion 2024

The Forward Trust is proud to be hosting this year's National Reunion - a celebratory event designed to recognise individual, group and service-led achievements over the last 12 months.

Taking place on Saturday 27th January (11:00am – 3:30pm) at the beautiful and historic venue of St John at Hackney (London), this inclusive event will welcome a diverse community of people all connected to The Forward Trust – including clients, graduates, alumni, ex-peers, staff, friends, family and loved ones.

Planned to be our largest and most ambitious event to date, organisers have ensured there will be plenty to see and do, including:

Six lived experience shares
Free food/refreshments
Creative arts and crafts workshops including scrabble-picture designs, jewellery making and drawing/painting.
Merchandise giveaways
Live entertainment
20 stalls representing Forward’s key services, and stalls by partner support agencies
Choir short performance
Networking and chat

This inspiring day will bring together all parts of the Forward family to learn and share in a safe space, reflecting on all corners of the work we do – from starting out, recovery and ongoing transformation.

There will also be opportunities to be interviewed and contribute to a short promotional film about the work we do at The Forward Trust.
