Voluntary Sector Gateway West Lothian was delighted to host a Good Conversation Training session today in partnership with Linking Lives.

The free session, led by Michelle Candlish from Linking Lives, brought together volunteers from across West Lothian for a morning of practical learning, confidence building and lively discussion. There was a fantastic buzz in the room as participants explored how to have meaningful conversations, develop active listening skills, and build stronger connections with the people they support in their communities.

The Good Conversation Training is designed to help volunteers feel more confident when supporting others, whether through befriending, community cafés, food projects or wellbeing activities. Delivered in a friendly and interactive format, it encourages participants to share experiences and learn from one another in a relaxed setting.

A huge thank you to Michelle and everyone who took part for making the session such a success!
