This year's conference theme is Reimagining Wellbeing.
From mental health and social connection to inclusive design, green spaces, and economic justice, we’ll explore how wellbeing is being redefined across sectors.
Join changemakers, creatives, and community leaders for a day of inspiring talks, real-world case studies, and bold ideas.
Together, we’ll spotlight the social enterprises, grassroots projects, and public spaces putting people’s wellbeing at the heart of what they do.
Expect practical insights, powerful stories, and fresh connections — all rooted in the belief that thriving is something we do together.

Workshops - Reimagining Wellbeing: Money, Mindset and Community Impact
Engage with practical workshop tools led by Tina Poyzer of CoinJar Community, that open honest conversations about money and help uncover some of the beliefs and narratives shaping our financial decisions. Through hands-on activities and open dialogue, we’ll discover how these perspectives shape our lives and reimagine wellbeing as a collective effort for change.
