Meet the Peer Support Team

Mary, Brit and Nicola work together to plan our Peer Support programme and run sessions and workshops. We find out more about the work they do. 
Mary, Peer Support Lead

I am the Peer Support Lead. This means that I create the Peer Support programme. And I help make sure it runs smoothly. I also go to the Peer Support sessions and workshops to help make sure they run smoothly. You will see me in person and online groups.

You will see me in person and online groups until the middle of May. After that, I’ll be leaving Future Pathways to do a different role. The Peer Support programme will not change at all. It will be run by Brit and Nicola who are wonderful members of the Peer Support Team.

Brit, Engagement Coordinator

I am the Engagement Coordinator. My role is to give administrative support to the Peer Support Team. I manage the Peer Support phone line and email. I help people sign up for sessions and answer any questions. I also organise venues and catering for events.

During Peer Support sessions, I provide safeguarding. This means I help everyone feel safe and supported. Your safety and wellbeing is really important to the Peer Support Team.

Nicola, Peer Support Coordinator

I am the new Peer Support Coordinator. I am thrilled to be here at Future Pathways. I will help support existing groups and help create new ones too. I will also be working on developing new ways we can offer Peer Support.

I am passionate about Peer Support. In my previous jobs, I have helped create peer support communities. These are spaces where people can share their lived experience and everyone’s voice can be heard.
