We Have Won Various Awards For Our Work

We have had an external, & independent, evaluation of the ‘Community Peer Mentors’, which highlighted the amazing results we can achieve when working hand in hand with the referring agency and the clients, by using volunteers to reduce demand and make people’s lives better.

Our Recent Awards

We offer a non-time specific support which is unique and bespoke for every client; as we believe every person’s experience, story, fears and feelings are different, and therefore one size does not fit all. All we ask is that a person has the will, want and capacity to change, they must set goals; however small, they must ‘bring something to the party’; we are not there to just do everything for them.

This approach is unique in the UK for tackling these issues.

PCC ‘proud’ as volunteers receive prestigious invites to King’s Coronation events

Four outstanding volunteers who have supported vulnerable people to get their lives back on track have been invited to Royal celebration events to mark King Charles III’s Coronation.

Trish Manners and Hayley Gibson, who volunteer for Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen’s Community Peer Mentor Service, will be among hundreds of volunteers to attend Buckingham Palace’s grounds on May 9 for the King and The Queen Consort’s first official Garden Party.

The invitation recognises the scheme’s success in achieving The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service last year for its support to vulnerable or isolated people including victims and perpetrators of crime. The award was presented on 8 September 2022, tragically the same day as Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
