Become a community health champion - Free Training 19th December
Do you care about improving health and wellbeing in your community? Are you ready to make a difference by raising awareness about cancer and cardiovascular disease? Join us for the Community Health Champion Training Session on Thursday, 19th December at the Kindle Centre, and be part of a movement that’s saving lives!
What Are Community Health Champions?
Community Health Champions are people who are passionate about improving health outcomes in their communities. They want to learn more and share with others the importance of cancer screening, early diagnosis, and lifestyle changes in preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Champions may have personal experiences with these conditions or simply a commitment to raising awareness.
As a Community Health Champion, you will:
- Start conversations about how lifestyle changes can reduce cancer and CVD risks.
- Raise awareness about cancer screenings (e.g., breast, bowel, and cervical) and common CVD conditions.
- Bust myths, share facts, and provide reassurance in your community.
- Signpost people to local health services and support them in accessing resources.
- Actively listen, provide feedback on local health needs, and help us improve services.
No prior experience is needed—full training and ongoing support will be provided by Healthwatch Herefordshire!
We’re looking for individuals who:
- Are passionate about raising awareness in their communities.
- Are willing to start conversations about cancer, cardiovascular disease, and preventative measures.
- Can provide insights from their community to help shape future services.
- Can offer their time flexibly, whether it’s a few conversations or participating in awareness events.
What You’ll Gain:
- A 3 hour training session on cancer and CVD prevention, screenings, and starting impactful conversations.
- Access to helpful resources and ongoing support from Healthwatch Herefordshire.
- Opportunities to grow your role, from community awareness activities to paid champion roles.
- The chance to make a real difference in saving lives and improving health outcomes.
