What peer support projects are we looking for?

Peer support means different things to different people. It may also be called self-help, befriending/wellbeing groups, meet ups, or mentoring. It also can take place online, by phone or other means.

We know there is fantastic peer-led peer support running in England and Wales. We also know that during the pandemic many groups have found alternative ways of running their face-to-face meetings with groups moving online or using other digital platforms.

We will be awarding 9 projects under the categories of:
• Peer support in marginalised communities
• Doing it for ourselves
• Innovative peer support

Your nomination needs to be completed collectively with representatives of the group/project. Each project chosen will receive a cash prize and hear about other events and learning opportunities offered by Mind and PeerFest partners.

We will invite all finalists to a special celebration event which will take place online mid-December 2021.

Nominations closed at midnight on Wednesday 20th October 2021. 

Our Peer-led Judging Panel will be announcing our 9 finalists soon.
