Become a Community Health Champion

The ‘Community Health Champions’ programme is being delivered by Freshwinds as part of the Community Cohesion Portfolio, funded by the Joint Mental Health Commissioning Team, tackling health and well-being issues across Birmingham. Through training and support Community Health Champions voluntarily bring their ability to relate to people and their own life experience to transform health and well-being in their communities. Within their families, communities and workplaces, they empower and motivate people to get involved in healthy social activities, create groups to meet local needs and sign post people to relevant support and services. Community Health Champions help others to enjoy healthier lives by raising awareness of health and healthy choices, sharing health messages, removing barriers and creating supportive networks and environments.
