Become a community champion

The champion’s role helps connect the council, partner with organisations such as the NHS, community organisations and communities in the borough to support health and wellbeing through regular conversation and interaction.

As trusted voices within their community, champions are best placed to share reliable information and signpost residents to relevant support services available.

Is this role for you?

This voluntary role is flexible, and there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ model.

• Your connections in the communities can be small or large or represent a specific group of people or social network.
• Conversations can take place at your convenient space; this could be at cafes, libraries, places of worship, school fairs, book clubs, faith events  etc.

Our support:
