Megan shares a little bit more about her roles at Open Road:
“I'm Megan Benfield, the Engagement Co-Ordinator for Colchester Open Road. My role is to manage the volunteers, social media and the open access service for our centre. I am working to improve community engagement with the service, both with community members and other organisations. Currently I am working on recruiting and training volunteers and creating the infrastructure for our new open-access service which we hope to open in the coming months. This includes creating new groups, arranging external organization drop-in sessions and improving our facilities for clients. We have high hopes for how this will improve service-user experience and engagement with service”
