DDN Conference 2020 Postponed – click for details

In the interests of keeping everyone safe and well we’ve made the only logical decision – to postpone the DDN Conference until June.

We consulted widely about this and were confident for a while of going ahead, but the escalation of recent events has also brought forward the likelihood of restrictions. We no longer feel able to promise the packed programme and wonderful day of networking we had envisaged.

We will be announcing our new date in June very shortly and look forward to an absolutely amazing day at The Glee Club in Birmingham!

If you have any questions or would like to discuss the event or DDN Magazine please don’t hesitate to contact ian@cjwellings.com 07711 950 300

We’re delighted to announce that the annual DDN Conference has an exciting new venue this year – The Glee Club in central Birmingham.

In this lively and welcoming setting we will discuss, debate, learn, share and enjoy a day of networking with colleagues ‘old’ and new!

This is our annual opportunity to put our heads together on what matters for service user involvement. Our agenda will reflect what’s important to you – drug-related deaths, activism, naloxone, BBVs, trauma, harm reduction initiatives, recovery inspiration and staying well.

In this highly interactive setting we will share what works, challenge what doesn’t and be passionate about what needs to change. This delightful venue will also give us new scope to get imaginative about approaches to our health and mental wellbeing, as we explore new creative perspectives.
