The IHBC is delighted to invite ALL our IHBC Committees to be represented at the next Branch Connection Event, taking place online on 22 January 2026, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, so if you a Committee member interested in joining in, be sure to let your Branch Committee leads know!
The IHBC’s National Office is warmly inviting at least one representative from each Branch Committee — with more Committee members also very welcome — to join us for an afternoon of updates, discussion and shared learning, with all counting as IHBC CPD too!
The session will feature:
- Key updates from the National Office, from Schools and support to resources and learning
- Opportunities for Branch networking
- A structured discussion and feedback session to help shape how we continue to liaise with and support Branches in the year ahead
- … and any more you might want to bring up… just let us know, as per below!
Angharad Hart, Education and Outreach Executive Officer for IHBC, said: ‘Following on from the success of our Branch Connection event last January, we are delighted to announce our next online gathering, coming up on 22 January 2026.’
‘Your insights and participation are essential to strengthen the collective work of the IHBC. We hope your Branch can take part and help us shape the future of the IHBC and how we continue to support our members across the UK, together.’
‘Further details and joining instructions will follow. Please check your Branch Committee representation, mark out your calendar where agreed, and join us for this important opportunity to learn, connect and collaborate.’
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘If you are an IHBC Branch Committee member who would like to attend on behalf of your Committee, do check with them so we can be sure at least one representative attended for each Branch. Of course we’d be delighted to meet as many Committee members as would like to attend.’
