What's a Pod?
​
Pod = a "steering group"- with lots of laughter




It's a volunteer role where you get to .....
  • Learn about the heritage of St Thomas
  • Get out and about
  • Share what you've learned with others in fun events
  • Connect with and encourage others
  • Celebrate St Thomas, its heritage and its people
  • Make a difference ​


What would I be doing?

The Neighbourhood Pod's main job is to find ways of inviting St Thomas residents into a community celebration of their place. The next project for St Thomas is the Old Oak in Cowick Barton playing fields.

After that, there'll be a new street project, around and around St Thomas..... all the time collecting more nominations and votes for where to go next.

You'll do this as a team, with the support of the St Thomas Squilometre and with training provided for free.

PLUS!  You'll come into a network of other Neighbourhood Pods ​all across East Devon where you can share ideas, resources and inspiration and attend an annual Pod Celebration in your honour!

​
What kind of time commitment is there?​

Across the team, the total commitment would be an average of 7 hours per week. So if there's 7 of you, that's just an hour a week!  (This can be flexible).

And we'll help you find the right role for you inside that team:-
​
-Social networking
​-Poster design
-Photography
-Local history research
-Facilitating
-Door knocking
-Listening/welcoming others

Doing what you're good at.
​Doing what you enjoy. In the time that you've got.

​Doing good in your neighbourhood!!
