Rochdale Community champions Literacy support project is peer to peer literacy support.

Community Champions are people from across Rochdale Borough who make a positive difference by helping others. They are real people, men and women of all ages and backgrounds who have the time, commitment and skills to offer support. Some have professional backgrounds and use those skills as a volunteer. Others are "expert by experience" or have developed their skills through training. Community Champions are available to help you with lots of different issues.

Edge Hill University have been working over the last three years to develop leadership and research training with Rochdale Volunteers. Volunteers have gathered a range of research that tracks the huge benefit that their work has had, improving client reading and confidence. Champion research can be found here www.edgehill.ac.uk/I4P
