COMMUNITY PEER MENTORS

The Community Peer Mentors aims to empower change, reduce vulnerability & provide a voice for the unheard... The Community Peer Mentors were the initiative of the previous Police, Crime and Victims' Commissioner, the late Ron Hogg CBE, in 2015; however, funding continues under Joy Allen's leadership as the Durham Police and Crime Commissioner and the scheme has grown exponentially. Joy said: "It is great to hear the positive impact the Community Peer Mentors have within the local community and how it has led to a demand reduction on frontline services.''... We aim to empower change, reduce vulnerability and provide a voice for the unheard, this fantastic support is given to anyone, whatever their background or circumstances, whether victim, survivor, perpetrator, prison leaver or someone forgotten or neglected by society.
