​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 Lane
• Get out and about
• Share what you've learned with others in fun events
• Connect with and encourage others
• Celebrate the Lane and its people
• Make a difference ​​​

What would I be doing?

The Neighbourhood Pod's main job is to find ways of inviting their neighbours into a community celebration of their street. The next project for Burnthouse is East Side Poets, celebrating the streets named after Poets, from the school down to Topsham Road.  After that, there'll be a new street project, around and around the Burnthouse Lane estate ..... 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 Burnthouse Lane 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!!
