Brightwalton is looking to establish an exciting new role for an energetic, warm, welcoming and resourceful person to shape the heart of the village community. The role is designed to bring the village together, encouraging mutual support and friendship, as we saw during the pandemic. This person will create opportunities for people to get together, meet others, learn new things, share skills and information and, where required, be able to seek or signpost additional support. We are following an established model as a basis for this role. In a previous role Miri Keen, our rector, has very successfully carried out this role for a rural Oxfordshire village. It is being funded by the ASPIRE programme for two years, thereafter the role will be funded by grants and the local community groups such as the Parish Council. The role will be advertised locally – it would be ideal for someone who has a passion for working with a wide range of people.  Our new Village Community Co-ordinator will interact with people on a one to one and group basis, hosting or finding volunteers to host a range of gatherings such as, coffee, an informal lunch, talks or demonstrations on a particular subject. We want to build on the best legacy of the pandemic, where the community came together and looked out for one another. We aim to begin hiring in the autumn, subject to our fundraising. The role will report to the Clerk of the Parish Council and be governed by a Steering Group that represents all areas of the village. The ASPIRE project team has successfully secure a match funding grant of £5,000 towards this initiative. To access this money, we need support from the village to raise another £5,000.
