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

---

It's a volunteer role but you get to .....

• Learn about the heritage of the Quarter
• Get out and about
• Share what you've learned with others in fun events
• Connect with and encourage others
• Celebrate the Quarter, 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 West Quarter residents into a community celebration of their place. The next project for the West Quarter is
Preston St/Rack St, celebrating the extraordinary social history of the heart of the Quarter where many Exonian families hail from. After that, there'll be a new street project, around and around the West Quarter..... 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 West Quarter 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!!
