Young Devon is one of a group of voluntary organisations providing the Community Connector role for Wellbeing Exeter. Community Connectors meet with the young person and talk with them about their life, interests and the barriers they face.  It is the Community Connector’s role to understand what matters to a person and then to work alongside them to build on their interests and to help them find out what’s out there that can help them and that might enrich their life.  For example, it might be about introducing people to social or exercise groups or activities or about helping people to access information, services and advice.
