Could you become a Community Health and Wellbeing Champion?
Community Health Champions are residents in Wandsworth who help keep people aware, informed, and up to date with the information they need to stay safe and healthy.
You do not need any previous experience of volunteering or health work as you will be given everything you need to carry out your role effectively by us, our Public Health team, and the NHS. There is a dedicated Community Health Champion Coordinator who manages both networks, and all volunteers will have access to a series of e-learning training courses, helping to support you to promote positive conversations about health and wellbeing.
