The Peer Events Volunteers will work alongside ASH Wales's staff at local, national and regional events and conferences throughout Wales. The attendance at these events from young people will allow for peer dissemination of information. Peer Events volunteers will encourage young people to understand a range of factors around tobacco including economic, environmental, health, corporate responsibility, human rights and marketing. The Peer Events volunteers will be trained to work with young people in their local communities to provide informed and accurate information aabout smoking preventation and assistance with cessation.

ASH Wales was established in 1976 and is the leading organisation in Wales tackling tobacco use.  Our main aim is to achieve a reduction in and eventual elimination of the health problems associated with tobacco use.  We have a wealth of experience and knowledge on tobacco issues and are happy to share our experience and knowledge with others.  ASH Wales is involved in a wide range of activities including coordinating the Wales Tobacco Control Forum which we manage as means of bringing together the diverse work occuring in Wales in the tobacco control arena.
