Live in Little Lever (or know someone who does)? Consider applying to become a Peer Navigator if you're keen to work on a variety of community projects in your neighbourhood. Just make sure you've applied before applications close on Sunday 17 November 2024.

When we asked one of our former Peer Navigators, Dawn**, what she'd say to someone thinking of becoming a Peer Navigator, she said: "It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'd encourage anyone to come and do it - you will be nurtured, and you will find where you belong”.

You can hear Dawn reflect on her time as a Peer Navigator below (with more videos from other Peer Navigators available here, on Facebook: www.facebook.com/watch/100064793914082/826588126016878).

As a Peer Navigator, you'll be responsible for promoting and developing community activity in Little Lever, working with voluntary and community projects and supporting local people to become more involved in their communities.

So, if you:

  • ..are enthusiastic and want to be part of positive change in your area..

..contact Karen Arkwright on 07541644468 or email karen.arkwright@boltoncvs.org.uk. As mentioned above, you'll need to apply before applications close on Sunday 17 November 2024.
