Hello!

I’m Eileen, founder of The Conversation Project. I have a background in social enterprise, the community sector and education.

Passionate about health, wellbeing, relationships and community, I founded The Conversation Project in 2022 in response to the lack of opportunities for connection caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.

At a time when social isolation continues to be recognised as a major public health challenge, I’ve been creating welcoming spaces where people can come together to re-connect, build meaningful relationships, and flourish through conversations that matter.

“It was brilliant. I really enjoyed the people I spoke to. Though I may never see them again, the process of being open and engaging was so special. Thank you, the cards are great!”
