Coffee & Conversation - let's get the party started!

Marc Aird-Mash

Our mission is to change the world, a conversation at a time and there has never been a more important time in the world for everyone to be connected and chatting. It’s not always easy though, perhaps we don’t know the people we see every day as well as we think and it’s difficult to maintain a conversation; and of course there are so many people in our communities who wouldn’t know how to start reaching out to anyone.

We have an idea about conversations and connections, we want to create the big Together Equal Coffee and Conversation Morning starting this Friday at 10am. So reach out to your friends, to colleagues who have been furloughed, to the mums you see at the school gates every morning and organise your own online session.

You can use any online tool you like - whether it’s WhatsApp or Zoom, it’s easy to set up and free to access so long as you have a mobile or a laptop.

To get things started this week we thought we’d share a quiz with you, and of course the answers. If you’re in a position to organise something like this, you will be making a bigger impact than you can imagine.
