FREE TRAINING 28th January - Become a community health champion

Healthwatch Herefordshire is working to increase awareness of symptoms of Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease and increase the up take in screening across Herefordshire.

To help us achieve this we are looking for volunteers to help us to spread the word and have conversations with the public about Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease prevention in their own communities in Herefordshire.

To do this we have created a brand new role called Community Health Champions and we are excited to invite you to join us for our upcoming Community Health Champion Training session!

This training will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in your community by promoting awareness of cancer and cardiovascular disease, prevention strategies, and early diagnosis.  We hope that you will utilise this training by also joining us around the county on our Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Roadshow to talk to the community and raise awareness.

Date: Tuesday 28th January 2025
Time: 9:30-12:30
Location: Holmer Community Hall, Holmer Road (next to Holmer Church off A49), HR4 9RG
Parking: Free parking on site

Here’s what’s in store at the training:  

  • Discover why screening and prevention for cancer and cardiovascular diseases are essential to help increase early detection!  
  • Learn how to spot signs and symptoms early—because the sooner we act, the better!  
  • Pick up key facts about the local population and tips on how to connect with your community, spread the word, and tackle any barriers together.  

Becoming a Community Health Champion means you’ll be part of something truly special: improving health, saving lives, and inspiring others to take charge of their well-being.  You may also want to help us spread the word by volunteering to join us in talking to the public on one of our roadshows around the county between January and April.
