Welcome to the Peer Passport!
An exciting new way to capture self-improvement activities and experiences over time. The Peer Passport acts as a record of participation in workshops, training sessions, and community activities provided by our trusted partners. Each completed activity earns a stamp or verification, showcasing tangible steps toward achieving personal goals.
How does it work?
From the moment you join the Peer Passport, your ‘adventure’ begins! The Peer Passport is introduced during your induction, offering you the chance to dive into this journey from the start or to embark on it whenever you feel ready.
The Passport Holder chooses an activity to engage with. Upon completion, they receive their first stamp in the Passport. You can explore multiple activities and switch between different types whenever you wish.
