Volunteer today to help improve health and wellbeing within your community
Could you be a Health and Wellbeing Community Champion?
We are looking for people, who can listen, show empathy, and can encourage those within their communities to help improve their health.
Our network of Community Champion volunteers are trusted voices, who use their experience, relationships, networks, and community assets to help others.
Champions reach out to members of their communities, share credible health messages, signpost citizens to services and help to address barriers to health services.
You can sign up as an individual or as part of an organisation that you might already volunteer or work for.

Skills
What skills would I need?
Volunteers are supported by a Public Health Practitioner based at the City Council.
You don’t need any special skills or experience to be a Community Champion, just a commitment to make a difference in your community – we’ll make sure you get all the training and support you need.
