Helping Residents Plan Well & Live Well

Build your confidence and expand your skills in having sensitive, supportive conversations with residents about planning for later life.

Delivered by Support Staffordshire, in partnership with South Staffordshire District Council, this interactive workshop forms part of the Your Life Your Legacy project and community roadshows. It is ideal for parish councillors, community leaders, volunteers, and anyone who regularly supports local residents.

What you’ll gain from this session

This practical training will help you:

• Learn simple, effective ways to begin sensitive conversations

• Identify appropriate communication styles and active listening skills

• Understand how to support individuals, families, and community groups

• Know where to signpost people for information, guidance, and services

• See how this connects with the wider Your Life Your Legacy project

Why it matters

Many people find it difficult to talk about planning ahead, whether that’s health, care, finances, or their legacy. By developing your confidence and approach, you can help residents feel more prepared, supported, and empowered.

Join us to help your community plan well, live well, and shape their legacy.
