    • Launch of the Ready Friends toolkit - With hard copies for all attendees and a presentation of the online version.
    • Round-table discussion about transport - Transport is under the spotlight in a round-table discussion lead by Peter Absolon from Readibus.
    • Celebrating friendship volunteers - There will be an event in Reading during national Befriending Week to celebrate the contribution of friendship volunteers. Find out from the Forum’s working group what’s being proposed and how you and your volunteers can get involved.
