Listen Members will be sent an email invitation two or three weeks before each meeting and will need to reply to register for the event.  For security reasons only those registered will be admitted to the meeting.  Knowing numbers in advance also helps the Committee plan the structure of the meeting around expected numbers.

Non members can join using the Membership Form and will then receive emails.

Meetings are recorded if the speaker gives permission for Listen to do
so.  Only the formal talk is recorded.  This is then made available only
to Listen members (via email with password protection) and is not put
into the public domain.   Recordings can be viewed for one month after
the event.  This process will be reviewed dependent on experience.

The Committee is happy to run an informal “awareness” session prior to each meeting if there is demand. We want to include as many people as possible.  Its not as scary as you think, as many of our members will testify. All you need is a PC, tablet or smartphone and a good internet connection. Contact membership@listenatkings.org to find out more.

No, they are for Listen Members at Kings. Find the Membership Form here.

So far we have had a session by a speaker, usually from Kings and occasionally from an outside organisation.  This is then followed by splitting the session into small groups within the online meeting for a more personal discussion, enabled by a facilitator who is either a Kings Mentor or a Listen Committee member.  We shall be developing this format dependent on experience.

In the formal speaker session, this will depend on the nature of the subject.  Often we will collect questions in advance which will be put to the speaker on your behalf.  If appropriate and if there is time, we might then open up for live questions through the “chat” facility within the meeting.

The Listen Committee, in conjunction with the Specialist Social Worker, who arranges for Kings experts and sometimes external speakers.

Of course, the Committee welcomes suggestions from Members and will do what they can to accommodate them.  In the past, at the November Group “Christmas get together” has included a session where everyone reviews Group Meetings over the year and makes their suggestions as to what might be included in the following year’s Group Meetings.  We can now think about doing this during our Zoom meetings.  In the meantime, if you have a suggestion, please contact membership@listenatkings.org.
