Note: The application round mentioned in this post has now passed, but we are still accepting applications on a rolling basis.
Everyone wants the best for their communities and for future generations – it’s just that it can be so hard to make the right choices. So many community groups and organisations want to make the best decisions for themselves and for the planet, but have no idea where to start – it can be overwhelming to think about all the options, especially if nobody really has the right experience or knowledge to know what they’re doing.
That’s why Egin was created. Our Peer Mentors are community members who have direct experience with taking action on climate change and sustainability at a local level – they might have already worked on a project really similar to the one you want to do in your own community. Spread across Wales, we have a variety of Peer Mentors will a range of skills and experience – which they are willing to share with you, to support and empower you to reach your goals.
Groups who sign up for Egin’s support can receive up to three days of Peer Mentoring, from one or more Mentors depending on your needs.
The Development Trusts Association (DTA) Wales, the organisation that runs Egin, also have Peer Mentors on our other programmes – such as Social Business Wales. At the moment, we are looking for Peer Mentors across all our programmes. If you have experience of social enterprise or community project, we want to hear from you.
