Bee-lieve Foundation Wellbeing Conference

Date: Tuesday 3 February 2026
Time: 9:30am – 3:00pm (arrival from 9:00am)
Venue: Hoe Valley School, Woking, GU22

Hosted by Bee-lieve Foundation, this is a wonderful opportunity to listen to inspirational guest speakers, network with the local community, and learn more about some of the fantastic local clubs and organisations working to support the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people across Woking and the surrounding area. The Bee-lieve Wellbeing Conference brings together schools, families, professionals, and community groups who share a passion for creating environments where young people can thrive.

We’re delighted to announce our confirmed guest speakers, Ali D’Amario, Pat Sowa and Ricky Nuttall, three powerful and inspiring voices who share a passion for mental health, resilience, and wellbeing.

• Dr Ali D’Amario is an Educational Psychologist, mental health advocate and highly knowledgeable speaker who uses her professional experience to inspire others to prioritise a nurturing approach as the core of mental health support for young people. Her clarity, expertise and warmth connect deeply with audiences, encouraging open conversations about emotional wellbeing.

• Pat Sowa brings together her experience as a head teacher and a mother to inspire teachers and leaders, in fact anyone involved in education, to bring wellbeing into the heart of the school curriculum and culture. By sharing some of her and her son Dom’s story, she creates a powerful call to action. A message of hope and empowerment is threaded throughout the talk which invites us to ‘put our positive pants on’.

• Ricky Nuttall is a firefighter, motivational speaker, and mental health campaigner who bravely shares his story of surviving trauma and rebuilding life after tragedy. His talks challenge stigma and inspire strength through honesty and authenticity.

Join us for a day of inspiration, learning, and connection. Together we can make a difference for our young people.

You’ll leave feeling inspired, connected, and ready to make a difference, equipped with ideas, tools, and partnerships that strengthen wellbeing in every corner of our community.
