9 across Devon). You will have an opportunity to ask questions and there will be a

Three Horizons “Developing your Organisation into the future”
Exploration Session
Thursday 18 February 10.00 – 12.00
All our organisations have been affected by the pandemic and required to make
changes to the way we work. But not all changes were negative. This session
introduces the Three Horizons model (which is used by the NHS) to help us identify
the disruptions we have experienced and carry forward the changes that we have
needed to make and want to take forward. There is an option after this to choose
CVS to facilitate more in-depth work with your organisation.

Facilitated by Katie Chaplin and Anja Kroening Maynard, Teignbridge CVS

Refresher Training – Working Face to Face
Tuesday 9 March 10.00 – 12.00
After such a long time delivering services online, over the phone and whilst being
socially distanced, this learning session reminds us about good practice relating to
delivering/ managing face-to-face work – be it befriending, driving, running groups
etc and will help to build back confidence as we begin to support people in some of
the ways we did before COVID and in some of the new ways we have found that we
would like to keep.

Funding - Ten Top Tips

Departure Lounge – Talking about Death and Dying
Wednesday 17 March 10.30 – 12.00
Covid-19 has changed both how we live, and how we die. Not only has the pandemic
impacted every aspect of our life - how we behave, how we work, and how we
socialise - it has brought death and dying into our daily reality. Further, the isolation
conditions that this disease imposes means that our traditional rituals around death
and dying - physical closeness, time with those that are ill, face-to-face contact with
friends and support networks - were/are no longer possible.
This session is an opportunity for you to talk about death and dying, what a good
death – and a good life - look like. The session, which is participant led, offers a safe
space to discuss and explore our feelings and thoughts.

If you would like to run a similar session within your organisation or community
CVS can share Departure Lounge Information and materials with you. Please
contact anja@teigncvs.org.uk if you would like to attend.
